Anyone up for helping me pull my engine this weekend? I'd like to get the heads off to get them ready for Len and then I can bring the rest of the works to Jake's for inspection the following weekend... Laughing Refreshments and pizza provided. Folks are welcome to stay the night as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I may not have the sack to do it alone. I think I am pretty flexible for time depending on what folks schedules are like.

Jon, I think I'm just going to make the magic happen here instead of taking it over to your place. Thanks for the offer though.

And now for the bad news...
Len no longer rebuilds used head castings...

Shocked

Bummer! Any suggestions or recommendations on who to use? I had actually talked the wife into letting me invest the $ into the Len option. Wish I could have acted sooner...

Adrian @ Headflow Masters in Cali.

The used head castings generally suck after 30 years of service+. Hard to make solid heads off of their foundation.
