Re: head thickness

[Joe Curry <spitlist@gte.net>]

Rather than measuring the head thickness, you should really be measuring the 
thickness from the surface that mates with the block to the top of the
combustion chamber.  That is the important part!  There is a possibility that 
the upper part of heads from various suppliers may be different and
therefore lead to erroneous assumptions.
