As of today, 18 responses. 12 no problems with cylinder heads, 6 reported problems. That's one third with problems. The poll will remain open, if others wish to complete the survey. |

Same here, Yahoo does not recognize my membership since I changed providers. It won't link my new address the way it's supposed to, even tried asking yahoo. They said to try everthing I already did....No response from moderators there. |

What dues ? I have never sent any dues in.... Maybe we could get the DiscoWeb crew to setup a survey/polling section ? The Yahoo! group was the only avenue I knew to set up the poll. any thoughts ? John |

Well John to add to your survey, Cause of my stuck Valve Aft oil port on right side 80% clogged forward oil Port 50% clogged left bank not much better. caused by too many additives by previous owner... Damage it caused Several over heated valves around the guide area. # 7 cylinder exhaust valve bent and sever galling around guide area Rocker shaft on right side is really blue in color and the temper is lost and needs to be changed. I have not torn it down to inspect the rockers The #7 exhaust valve when it started to seize up it stuck the piston ever so slightly I can smooth the ding out. hopefully it will be alright. it made a slight ding in the raised lip. no scars on the cylinder visual inspection no cracks. |
