Dave,

Did you purchase the head from AVP or Fast German?

I was refering to AVP.   If it was... i wonder if their policy had changed.

Thanks for the JBWeld tip

        Hmmm, I didn't get this treatment when one of their heads developed
a crack down the axis of one of the exhaust bolt holes (after about 500
miles). They wanted me to pull it and ship it back for inspection and
refused
to provide a new head gasket set. They were very helpful at the time of
purchase however... A good note, I found that JB Weld is indeed a miracle
epoxy as it has filled and bonded the crack even on one of the hottest
parts
of the engine...
