[QUOTE="mna0121, post: 441211, member: 2868"] Thanks IM84, that sounds about right, those things are thin. JJ welded standoffs onto them for the coil packs I wanted some venting so a buddy closer by welded a bung into each cover for me. Once he did that the brackets would no longer line up with the standoffs JJ put on. I decided I would put the factory covers on but knew the bracing hits the rockers. In a brilliant move I used my plasma to remove the braces, got away with it on the first one but blew a hole right through the top of the cover on the second!!!! Now I plan to bolt the warped ones to a set of bare iron heads, put a couple of fire bricks on top, pizza brick on the bottom and put them in the oven for a couple of hours at about 400. Once I get them flat maybe JJ will put the strips in for me. He needs all the practice he can get before he builds my headers anyway! I have been hanging onto your build thread, awesome simply awesome. I talked myself into the 245 heads because this engine eventually will get an F2. I was hoping to be first but you beat me to it. Great job on the tow rig and buggy. [/QUOTE]
