Probably not the best idea...BlueOvalStangGT said:You sure lettign water drip into my oil pan and such is a good idea?? Ill try that if you say so.
Probably wouldn't hurt.BlueOvalStangGT said:What about some oil?
this might get you by, but instead of paper use a set of feeler gauges and start out with smaller and go bigger until it does not fit then that is how many thousands your surface is warped. do it on your head first and do it in 3 diff rows or 7 if you want. lay it straight across the head at the top closer to thintake port, make your measurements with the feeler guage then slide the straight edge down to the middle of the comb chamber then down the bottom side of the head. you can also make diagonal measurements if you want, but not absolutely nes. all of this is extremely irrevlevant if you do not have a true straight edge as your specs are usually in the .007 range and a slightly warped edge can give you irroneous readings. or you could just cart the head to a machine shop and have them straight edge it, they will most likely have a better straight edge.94TURBO5 O said:Clean the deck and get a straightedge metal ruler. Put the edge across the deck with a piece of paper b/t it. press down on the ruler and try to slide the paper around. It shouldn't move. That's only a quick garage way to check it by no means the most accurate/precise procedure.

If you want to compare what a blown HG looks like let me try and find my old pics from last year when I went through 2 sets before getting to the dyno.
Your hgs look good to me as well as your 11yr old stock pistons.
Pull the other head and get the ARPS and all the other essentials to do the job right and put it all back together. Worse case scenario is it has another problem again and you at least know you did the job correct you can then narrow it down to the cause. I think your car is fine if you just do that. I shaved the heads on the first time install and then after the last 2 I was so pissed to have to do it all over again I just threw them back on and I haven't had a problem since last summer with the hgs. That was with 12#'s of boost on the S-Trim with n2o and methanol. 10#'s with the KB with methanol and now 9#'s with this t-66.
And remember I'm totally internally stock still. I had some blow by but used breathers and capped the barb on the vc (I used to find my dipstick 1/2 out and smoking) and make sure your torque sequence is correct and I torque the intake in 5-8# increments until I get to 25-28#'s going through the sequence several times. They tend to loosen after a while so re-torque them (gently).
