I get home tomorrow and I'll look at all my heads.
Piston Rings arrived today. I now have everything I need to finish the engine

Should have the motor together this weekend and in the car with everything
hooked up except the front shocks.
are you going to go with the TR6 pistons in the motor? I've talked to a few
people and noone is really doing it any longer. new cams seem to have changed
any benefits.
