Why am I drawn to the aluminum??

I think the best approach is to pull a head and see where the pistons are. I'd take aluminumover any iron any day. And the RHS heads are heavier than the factory heads but a bit. You're doing your homework - s otake some measurements to get tit right. And yes - I'm a Thumper hater...lol.

You are so right. I will be yanking a head off shortly. I had thought of that but got caught up in calculations :sad7:
