Yea I dont think I posted that. I sure hope this is the last "fix" at least for a while! Then maybe enjoy a couple weekends yet this season.....

If you need any help/assistance let me know. Or if you just want to throw some ideas around. I probably don't know the right answer, but I know a lot of people that probably do.
You going to be up at HotBoat at all?

Got it back in the shop yesterday & found two bent valves, not sure what caused it. Exhaust valves on #1 & #3 only. Got the head being done today but I still dont know what caused it maybe he will find a tight guide or something, no broken springs, everything else looked good. It touched the top of those two pistons but nothing major just smoothed out the rough edge with some emery paper.
