Everything looked good even the head gasket could be reused, just caved the combustion chamber into the water jacket.
I am still going to use carbs much easer to tune the car.
I fought three problems for years.
1) Spinning bearings I thought from detonation.
No just a stupid mistake I overlooked, does everyone know the stock oil pump pickup is in the FRONT of the oil pan sump, just moved it to the back and NO MORE PROBLEMS with bearings.
2) Ignition too week, with a turbo use the strongest, MSD #7 or better.
3) Siamesed intake ports, with gasoline, at high levels of HP
cylinders #1 and #6 would run lean and melt everything, by dividing the ports it fixed that problem.
I think with methanol (alcohol) you can run over rich and masks the problem.
Anyway it lives now, if the head wasn't so weak, with the new Kirby head that shouldn't be an issue. And make more power.
Tom, my head flowed 180 cfm @ 28" Mikes is 315cfm @ 28"
