Just wanted to post a couple of pictures of one of the heads that used to be in my motor before I switched to CB 044's. Ralph, my local "wrench", machinist or whatever you may want to call him just cleaned them up and put on some kind of preservative gooey stuff that's used by the manufacturers. These things look brand spanking new; I just wanted to treat them like that to be able to put them on indefinite storage.
If you notice at the top of the head, right side, there is a threaded hole for some sort of sensor. Well, I found out that such hole was not plugged and left totally open to the atmosphere when the motor was built, hence the constant caked on grease that I always found accumulated on the engine tin on that side. I always wondered what was wrong with a new engine, now I know....
