Slide:
I came by today but, apparently you were somewhere else or didn't hear the bell. I saw you still had the engine on the stand so I knew all was not well.
Try this
1. Put the head on the block with NO gasket.
2. One at a time put in each bolt and see if it tightens the head up. Remove the bolt and try the next one.
This might be informative!!
I'm running at Buttonwillow tomorrow
,but will try to stop by on Sunday sometime if you are going to be home.
