You might be able to get it magnafluxed to check for cracks at a machine shop. Sometimes cracks are hard to see with the naked eye. And most lond cylinder heads like that are warped at least a little bit. You can put a straight edge across the head surface and se if you can slide a feeler guage under it in spots where the head and block surfaces make contact.
Great idea with the drill press, I'm definitely gonna do that in the future 🤙🏻 I like the "look for light under a straight edge" method. Used to be able to have the machine shop mill .002 or so for around $50 too. I've heard myths about putting a head in the oven before torquing it down but not sure if I buy that. Plus that one is like 3' long lol. Hope you got your #6 compression back.ttyl buddy
My 'Redneck Machine Shop' has turned surprising results over time. I agree that a quality straight edge and feeler gauges are a great way to get a pretty accurate idea of head condition. I've always used my flat file like this as a starting point to 'git 'er done, plus, I can't find my good straight edge after the move... Looking forward to the Games! I hope we can connect! :)
@@PardeeShopShenanigans i hope i can make it! it all depends on how much i can get done. did some sheet metal and trans cooler stuff done today. i gotta go to my service truck tomorrow and grab some more tools so i can throw my front yokes on and measure for a drive shaft. i have a long list of short projects and still have to do a shake down run with this. and.. film edit etc. lol.
Chrysler was dumb for abandoning the inline 6 4.0 ltr. "It didnt pass emissions" is what I heard from my broth who worked dodge/jeep/chrysler. Thats the stupidest cop out I've ever heard. Every other engine could be made to be compliant. Inline 6 and 60deg v12 are the best engines to have ever been designed. You won't find a better or more balanced engine than those especially the v12.
