[QUOTE="mna0121, post: 439875, member: 2868"] Yes it is back on track. I have not been idle with this build. The head was cracked around the #4 stud into the water passage. Twice I had a local head shop cut the area out, weld it back up and drill it out. It recracked and leaked every time. I gambled the $50 shipping to send the head to TEA in Ohio. TEA does R&D and CNC work on Trick Flow heads. Greg at TEA was awesome to work with but had bad news. He told me that these heads are first design and this was a common fail with them, the head is not repairable. Greg worked some things out with me and I got a set of 245's with all but one upgrade they offer. Remember the first heads were 225's. The 245's require a mim. bore of 4.125 but my bore is only 4.030, both Greg and Brian Tooley assured me by using the 4.125 head gaskets I would be good. These are the six bolt heads required on all large bore aftermarket blocks, easier to sale if I ever need to get rid of them or buy an aftermarket block. That took up all of August and September, farming, my business, my 40hr job and my dads health issues take up most of my time. I have pictures of measuring to make sure the valves clear the edge of the cylinders, reassembly and P/V clearances. I am in Tallahassee today maybe I can get those posted tomorrow. JJ I tried to send you the video but computer says the file is too large but I will figure something out. Roll Tide [/QUOTE]
