I have not put the head on my BN2 engine block yet. ?It is an older crack 
repair that was done correctly, but the intake chambers had been augered out to 
facilitate the welding. ?I had it pocket ported to even the air flow out and 
the CC'd for an even idle. ?I was involved with the machining of the block and 
the head, so the two surfaces are a known quantity. ?I will be coating both 
sides of the gasket with Wellseal to try to minimize the inevitible leak 
seeping out between the second and third cylinder. ?I know the aluminum head is 
the best solution for the four cylinder head problem, but if the cast iron head 
works I can save 4 grand. ?I will also check the water galley alignment also. 
Thanks for the heads up on that.Mike MacLean
