Yeah, the Valiant head/engine looked untouched, head gasket certainly looked OE & was rusted through up front where it should be blocking the hole in the deck...one of those sneaky causes of overheating,.....& I'm fairly sure the Lancer head was surfaced, with the Victor gasket present (.045"...

The schrader traps air in the hose/gauge, that means it only lets pressure out of the cyl., not in...just leave the air hose plugged on until that cylinder's finished & move to next.

Not directly, it is just an indicator of how much has been cut, as the cut intrudes into the chamber shape the amount of cc's removed changes...usually less per .010" because the chamber gets smaller as You pass the bore-size area. A lot less once You hit the open quench area...if You get that far.

Overall height, deck surface to valve cover rail/head bolt seats.

Do You have a leakdown tester or compression tester w/a detachable hose that has a std. Milton or I/M quick disconnect? If so, take the light-springed schrader valve out, screw it in & plug the air hose on.It wont matter w/the rocker shafts off, if You put 100psi in there, there's 300+ pounds of...

The longer headbolts are self evident if You look, but they go between the intake ports with the oil feed passages. The timing covers were changed on LA's so the seal could be popped out the front in later years, the older ones have to be pried out from the backside, this was discussed recently...

Grass, grass I've already cut, grass I'm going to cut, grass that can't wait to replace the grass I'm going to cut, grass grass grass.......

God bless Him & keep Him strong, hope the auction does well, & that His recovery is the best possible.

To go back to that head, I just picked up another 170 from a '61 Lancer, head casting# 2202952-3. It had a Victor Victocor gasket & the O/A height is 3.595", the '62 Valiant head casting# 2206036-1 w/the factory OEM shim gasket had an O/A height of 3.610". The depth of the 'dime' on the Lancer...

I think I'll score that a perfect 10, :thumbsup:

No apology needed here, You take a lot of jabs here too. In My circle of friends, We are downright BRUTAL to each other sometimes, so no fear of offending Me......carry on...

My (well,...ALL) 2.2 Turbo II's came with forged Mahle pistons, thay all rattle on a cold start ~45°F & down...no biggie..

AFAIK, GT emblems C-pillar Coupes, Quarters Convertibles in '64...these are Mine, top from Coupe, bottom from the Convertible. The 'arrow' shaped recesses are light silver, black in the notches, & the Geetar Pick GT inlay...

That GT has no backup lamps, different setup.

:popcorn:

@B3RE makes custom shaft spacers/offsets to correct geometry..

Purrtieee.... I passed on one early '90's for $700, still kinda regret not doing that. Guy said it was an A125, rockers were 1/2 gone, but most of the rest was there.

My Buddy Jose sent this to Me, so I'm passing it along... https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1882140642253872/?mibextid=kL3p88&rdid=LSaO6dSla9tfsFnk&share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fm.facebook.com%2Fshare%2FxVSNFEjSL39D16cS%2F%3Fmibextid%3DkL3p88%26wtsid%3Drdr_0fAXh9Uo1ssYVCMzg&refsrc=deprecated&_rdr

Hmmm, to think I bought the very last issue off the stand a while back, sux.

Just be sure the valve springs are up to the increased lift & lift/close rates, check with the cam grinder to be certain, & be sure the installed ht./seat load is what's specified.

You'd be correct if it was a natural death, it wasn't.

If You've ever pulled the head off of an AMC 6 including an HO 4.0L, the crosshatch is gone adjacent to the 1/2" head bolts, like a 5/8"-3/4" swath. Like He said, some get it all the time because they're prone. This is when folks don't get why a BRM 'dingleberry' hone works better needs pointing...

When I was buying some equipment ~20yrs ago, I discussed hot honing with them, & they said the NAPCAR guys were trying it but it wasn't getting the results they were expecting. I said that didn't make sense, & was curious why, so I stayed plugged in to it.....turned out they needed to pre-heat...

Is the oil pressure good? Check with a gauge if You don't have one already. If it's a piston/pin it goes knocka-knocka & is a sharper/brighter sound, rods usually sound duller/heavier with a deep knock-knock. If that's Your ride in the avatar, I'd find & fix the knock, & get back to cruisin'...

Thoughts & prayers to You & Yours, whatever You're dealin' with, hang in there Brother...

That's why I drive rats for daily & anything like that, can't have anything nice for long....

That was a while ago for sure..................

Yep, that's Them..................

That paint looks freakin' awesome, as does the whole car, love that body!!

Little Furball made it to the top of the open hood,.....then slid all the way back down to the cowl, popped up & pranced around the A-pillar then along the door. My Mom's allergic to anything that grows or sheds just about, so after a few days I got the Neighbors to take Him, They named Him...
