[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 109482, member: 98"] yes I agree robin .. I think most ere are well informed on checking for flatness ..but the point can not be brought up enough ... some of us like me have never done the machine shop route ... as all the oldwing heads I have done have met my file and two hands ... I am not advocating this as it dose take touch ... but again I will have to say oldwing heads are small and easy to true by me and my file ... actually you can beat a machine head as the tools chatter with vibration of the speed they operate .. file has none of that .... the alumi heads are soft as metal goes and dosnt take to long or much effort to get one perfect...there are ways of redoing valve seats and valves too without disassembly also ...one can not expect much if you don't do much but change gasket ... the procedure and job outweighs the head gasket selection bigtime in results ... that's for sure and I think robins point .. mine too no matter how you feel about how to get it done ... just a lot of things to do besides change the gasket ... I agree totally [/QUOTE]
