Very interesting thread - thanks for posting.

Did you have the heads machined to stop leaks? Ie some sort of seal can be fitted between the head and the block?

Thanks

I assume it's only the outside of the rocker covers that have been powder coated? The insides need to remain bare metal (any coating can flake off and get into/block the oilways).

The Head Shop certainly know their stuff, they've been working on them for years - Unit 11 use them for the work on all their rebuilds (including a few for me) for example.

yes only the fronts powder coated the heads have all new guides and valves done due to pore leak down figures on exhurst side
