What was challenging was getting the right about of clay and lubrication so that it peals of nicely.Seat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch. Email John or Garrett at ninestitch1@gmail.com

If u have access to a dial indicator and magnetic base, get a couple soft springs from the hardware store and install in place of the stock springs. Set tip of DI 90 deg to retainer and measure by pushing down on the valve until it contacts piston as u rotate engine to it's closest point.
Good luck.

I also think you need the cam to move the valves for any kind of accuracySeat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch. Email John or Garrett at ninestitch1@gmail.com

OK... thanks for all the help/insight... After much thinking, claying and playing... I am going to be conservative and source another head...
Based on SOMs experience with the 2.05 gasket, and my measurements; i think I would get some "kissing," perhaps more...
Any after reading about MLS, and the potential sealing issues (i did not deck my block) and that's about $300 shipped... and two week wait...I am not going that route.
Thanks for all the help!!

Drill the rivets out on MLS and spray each layer with copper. Never had one leak as such.Last edited by ForcedFirebird; 01-08-2016, 07:35 PM.
