You know, Id love to be able to answer that. I'm not a head porter, and the man that did them is gone. And I miss him dearly. I do believe that Dave was taking the same port as he had in the 083's and just running them on the CNC machine. I remember him saying something like that, but we would have to ask Randy Brewer, as he was working right along side him. Anybody that ever owned a 624 Combo in SS had the same issues. They were sprinkler systems..
I remember sending those 083's to Rays Crack repair and he told me from the get go the material was like pop cans melted down and re-used, or something to that effect. He described them as these casting were like they had been laying on the bottom of the ocean for 100 years, and now we're trying to weld on them. Like spiderwebs down inside. ( I had purchase brand new castings from over the counter at the Chevrolet Dealership) After the third time in about six weeks of sending them back, first the bowls, then the runner and then a hole the size of a pencil eraser in the chamber, he said " Jeff, I hate to tell a guy to scuttle a brand new set of heads, but I'm afraid these heads are not raceable. I just put six grand in those things, and that hurt .. LOL
