I just don't get what is so hard to understand here.

Re: superstock hemi heads
 

FJ, you just contradicted yourself with your two posts.

I was being sarcastic with my question as to what ANY PART means!

Alot of people don't understand whats really going on here. Next week after gainesville you may understand why Pizza Joe started this thread. And it wasn't on my behalf.

Re: superstock hemi heads
 

Joe, yes I know that. I was hoping this thread died initially because this subject is something that needs to be settled behind closed doors with key people and not out in a public forum. I hope I'm wrong here and as I've stated, I'd rather find a solution for ALL than point fingers.

Chuck, I hope it rains down there and snows up here and the roads are impassible, LOL. I predict it could be ugly and am glad I'll be up north here!!

And, FJ, I was thinking your first post was stirring the pot. I realized since that you are not involved. I meant no disrespect to you and consider your chassis skills among the greatest out there.

Aren't the valve cover bolt holes on a Hemi to the inside of the gasket rail? Here's a picture on the following website to show what I am talking about.

If that is the case, then the entire gasket rail would be totally cut off on the intake side to reach the valve cover bolt holes. I can see where that would be an issue when someone building hemi heads cuts the head back far enough to remove the gasket rail and the valve cover gasket has to be seated to the intake manifold or to an added spacer. That is just flat wrong and any head modified like that should be DQ'd.

Until I saw the picture of the position of the VC bolts I could not understand what all the fuss was about. Now I can agree with those who want the heads disqualified.

NHRA needs to enforce the rule.

Re: superstock hemi heads
