Finally got the 220 into the working shop. The first thing I did was check compression - #4=170; #3=170; #2=165; #1=25. Yes that would be 25 not 125, and yes I checked it multiple times. I happen to have what looks like a fairly fresh fuel injected B20 that came with the car as a spare. I pulled the head the other night and things look pretty good inside. I sent the head to get cleaned, checked and possibly rebuilt. Now the question, do I have a B20e or B20F? Cast number = 49; stamped = 8284; last stamping = 33833. Next question, if this is a B20E, would it be wise to have the head shaved for a bit more compression? I will be burning E10 or E15 in this engine (yes I know, but I live in corn country) so was thinking that a bit more compression might be a good idea???? Oh, this head is going back on the B20? and into the 220, along with an M41 transmission. My son is trying to convince me to just get the engine and transmission back into the car without painting the engine or the engine bay, but I think I might fool him...

Merry Christmas!!!!
