Mark,

Thanks for the information.  Hey, at least the fact that the engine
carries the wrong head offers one explanation of why we could never get
the darn thing to run right and why it produced no power.  Using your
figures and the formula Ted S. gave me this morning, my engine was
running a CR of 6.2:1.
