Hi all.

Ok we got the heads off today and cleaned them up and guaged them. One head has a section where a .003" will pass thru but a .0035" won't. In another area a .0025" will pass but a .003" won't. On the other head a .002" passes is two sections but a .0025" won't.

According to the official shop manual .0019 is the max out it should be. Right?

We also guaged the block surfaces and they are within spec as a .0015" wont pass anywhere. There are no signs at all of any cracks anywhere (WHEW). So I am hoping that a mill of the heads and a reassembly will get Monti back up and rolling.

Cheers,

Pastor M
