Thanks for the clarification on welding-up the exhaust port. I have read up on that type of port work, but port work is not in the budget for now.
I received the engine in a partially dismantled condition (head off, etc)so I my thinking was since the head would be going to a machine shop to get checked out, why not have the head decked for what I hope is a modest fee.
My previous drivers were both B18D motors ('65,'66 and now '67).
I used to restore vintage Volvo's for a living and never came across a pinging problem with the B18B's that came in the P1800's.
Just trying to make my current project more like a 123GT as I go along.

Any thoughts on the B18 vs B20 valve stem seals ??
Thanks
Peter
