M37 engine update

I spoke with Vermont Engine co. today they suggested me bring the head into them to check out for warp and or cracks. I drained the coolant and pulled the head. I am cautiously hopefull, as there was rust on the took the head around the valves on several cylinders, and the corresponding areas on the head. I had cleaned the deck and the head with one of those scotchbrite discs on a mandrel prior to assembly, and know for certain there was no rust there then.
So, I will take the head in on Monday, and with a bit of luck have this problem solved. Lets all keep our collective fingers crossed!
