Head grinding time

[LoneRanger]

Hey Cottonlanders,

I removed my head and plan to have it examined this week.

Can anyone recommend a good machine shop in the area?

Check with Massey over on Hwy 80. That is the only one I know right off hand. Maybe someone else can recomend one. Check with Mickey Plunkett. I think he had some work done by a shop here in town.

Later,

He used Massey, as did I this morning. Results should be in by end of the week.

Good stuff. How's the innards look?

Come by and take a peek. John didn't notice anything untoward on top of the pistons. Marvin at Massey's, on the other hand was taken aback by signs that coolant had been in most of the cylinders. I'm pricing replacement heads just in case.....

I think I'm going to try and hone the cylinders. I need to get the oil pan off. I'm sort of glad I was forced into this. $omeday I'd consider doing some sort of performance rebuild, depending on how well I do with this one. I may need to find a little extra work b4 the summers over to finance this.

guess we can quit pming this.

About time....I'd say you've been needing this for a while.

Cracked Block

Anybody in Cottonland have a good 2f for sale? My head is cracked in several places. I'm not sure about the block. How do I find out if the block is cracked?

Look in the for sale section.
May pick one up cheap....
