legacylee Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 looks like we'll be shopping for heads for our rebuild. just picked the heads up from the garage to take to the machine shop. there is slight galling in the journals,any suggestions? I've been reading A LOT but not having any luck. I've been trying to research the vendors also but, with helping my kid move, and life itself i need help. I live near Rochester NY any help would be greatly appreciated Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th3Franz Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 how deep are the journals scored? Can a scotchbrite pad clear them up? This one was donezo and had to be replaced. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
