Here we have the head. Its a little cleaner now!

And, voala, it fits!

I didn't have time to bolt it back down or anything yet. I also have to adjust the valve clearance. Any idea how often this is supposed to be done? I doubt it ever has been... I will get to that this weekend hopefully.
Good work!

Are you doing anything about the cracked manifold?

Where did you get the parts from? OEM? I need to get a set of gaskets ordered. I think my car is going under the knife next week...
