Gary,

Ever have one of those good news/bad news things where the good is good and the bad is frustrating? Well, I discovered that the head that I took to the machine shop is a low compression head. The engine from which the head came is nicely residing in my shop on an engine stand. I just went outside to my parts car, in a full blast South Dakota blizzard, to see what the head looks like - HIGH COMPRESSION!!!! Now the bad, although the car is sitting right outside my shop on a cement pad, we really are having an old fashioned blizzard and there is no way I can take the head off and reseal the engine. I also can't pull the thing inside because the shop is already full. H-m-m-m-m! Some thoughts are coming to maturity!! I might just have a plan...

Thanks again for the pictures!! Merry Christmas!
