Anything is possible. I dont suspect the head, having recently , (milagewise) been completely reconditioned.

Hot dye test, replace guides, cut seats. kibblewhite guides, black diamond valves, conical valve springs, teflon seals. JCC pistons and Hasting rings.


 There is 30-40 miles on this engine, yes miles.


The oilway through the barrel is clear, and through the crankcase, no sealant on the head gasket and the base I used a spray on light film.


The rings are intact, I will take them off tomorrow and measure the end gaps in the barrels. The bores are unscored. No contact marks on the piston tops.  I think I have 95 thou combined with the base and head gaskets.
