Dyno day three. My finger tips are all sore and some minor burns on my hands from working on a hot engine, but the sacrifice seems to be worth it. We have decided on the camshaft to use. The power and torque are almost up to our go to Indy goal. Now is the time to try the new heads. The installation of the new heads reveals that we have a water problem in #4. Problem is water is leaking from the sleeve into cylinder. Head gasket sealing ring is larger than the O.D. of sleeve allowing water to enter cylinder and rust.

The new heads make the power and torque we need to go to Indy, YES! Now its time to go home and freshen up the engine, or do I, its running very well. That question makes the 140mile drive home go by quickly.
