Okay, we weren't able to work on the head for a couple weeks. Today when I showed up at Rich's house I found out he had drilled the holes already.



Rich had one of the heads from his bantam truck on his mill so that had to be finished first. Once we put in some helicoils we could mount the center of the head and start machining.





As you can sort of see, we scribed the profile of the head onto the center piece which needs to be machined. We milled the slight angle which is on the intake side and the angle where the valve cover rails will be.





Well I hope that all makes sense. I had to leave, Rich was threatening to finish it by the time I come back.

My plan is just to take two 318 valve covers and make one long one. All the excess aluminum spacer will be gone shortly.

I am trying to post pictures of the head with the spacer roughed to size. But this thing says there is already a post with the same file name. No kidding. Now what do I need to do?

Change the name to your photo file. Most camera software logs the picture file under a series of numbers...all in a similar fashion and that file name has been uploaded somewhere. On a PC and MAC its easy to change file names.

I did, twice. After resizing the pictures. If you are interested enough look at http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/june-banger-tune-up-and-drive-em.927035/#post-10468003. Ryan makes it easy to post pictures.
