A month or so ago, there was a string of messages about mag particle testing and pressure testing etc. I had a head, I'd had mag'd and felt pretty good about it. Today a "new" guy at a machine shop punched three holes from intake ports to the water jacket while he was installing guides. Turns out how it'd been tested didn't make a dam bit of difference.
Hope you all have better luck for 2007 than I am so far.

Wow, sorry to hear about that. Not a good way to start the new year.
Hope they gave you your money back that you spent on that head.

Clueless is my opinion. I went and retrieved the hunk of cast iron that was a head so I could take pictures. That was interesting since Friday I dropped it on his desk and told him to where to put it. Have some very clear pictures of the holes they made. More than happy to share them, if I can figure out how to get them into a reply. Not much success yet - anyone with any computer advice for this site?

Joe K
You can Email them to me. and I'll get them up for you.They must have been trying to install one heck of a OVER sized guide.In many cases what is known as a liner is just fine. These just mit be something else for me to add to my web site. Put them into a OPPSsssssssss section??

Larry - Thanks for getting the pictures posted.
This is pictures of a "848" head I was going to use on a 261 block.
I was so ****ed, that either out of good sense or fear, the owner paid me for the head.
Now, I'm either going to find another 848 head, or have the 261 head milled. Seems most people use a 848 head because it's easier than reworking a 261 head. Does anyone know any reasons that would make one better than the other?
