Summit screwed me - I always check where it's sent from, sometimes I can wait, others.... not so much... This time Summit claimed it was close.. it's in Ohio.
One of those 'I know God will settle the accounts of those who do crap like this' .... missing heaven just for a sale.

time to remove the other head
and the hits keep coming... the bushing fell out of the bottom of this aftermarket column - but that wasn't the worse thing somehow the lower borgeson joint now rattles side to side. I didn't think it was possible... but it is. dammit
back to removal
I'm really going to test these... one of the bolts... I won't say I can't - I can - but there is no way I'm pulling the head again to get the header out so that I can open up a hole - it leaked before...
fun part about this picture - it convinced me not to change headers... there's no real difference in port size
functionally the heads are the same - but they're not identical
see the almost cathedral look to the new heads? that ain't there on the old heads... good thing I didn't just buy one head
and back together.. new head gaskets
gave up when I came up missing a gasket... I'm sure I have it, but I've been working on it 12 hours at this point
one thing for certain - on anything I care about, I'm buying the gaskets individually.... the quality difference, even in the FelPro line, is quite remarkable

I have a pair on my 2000 Mercruiser, I know that day is coming!
