Mark,
    Did you ever do a compression check on any of your
headjobs?   If you set your valves to zero lash you
can check the compression without hooking up the
intake or the exhaust.   If your compression is bad
you have no reason to put the rest together until you
figure out what is wrong.   My head was pretty flat.

How flat should my head be?

Because it's not even close. It has a pronounced
curve, top to bottom,
that
can be seen with a straightedge placed over the
sealing surfaces. I'd
say
the thing curves about 3mm from true.

If it's supposed to be like that, please forgive my
ignorance, but man
it
doesn't look right!


Mark
getting fast at pulling these heads off
