Thanks Mike,

Yep the heads are assembled..... I've been searching around and do believe that the walls will need to be notched. So the question is now do I want to do it? and will I screw it up, LOL?

From Christ's book - "Notches are need only at the top of the bores. They taper down to meet the cylinder wall, about 1/4 in. form the deck surface at the intake valves and about 1/8 in. at the exhausts."

I guess I can do this by placing the head on the block and use the valves (with grease RTV on em) to mark the block deck, and machine alittle more that the mark with a die grinder......

Or screw it and just buy a different head!

Any thoughts? WEM
