Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

Teal is right. Craigslist is a good place to shop for the head, also, make sure to have your local reputable machine shop check it out first, fix any valve issues, replace seals and such. Plus a good old hot tank acid bath will clean out all the junk and burnt oil in the oil galleys
