Finishing up with the High Comp. head installation





got the head off.... to do this you loosen the head nuts just about an 1/8 of an inch and then turn the motor over (not by hand) and it will pop the head loose











old head gasket... copper
















ya know... no matter what you do.. there is always that one bolt, in this case a stud, that just doesnt want to come out...












top view before cleaning


















it was burning great!













old water pump












got the head all cleaned up... just chasin the threads
















muuuch better!!















all the valves had ford on them... 78 year old valves...











touched up the paint and it made all the difference















you have to put new studs in ALWAYS if you take the head off for any reason



















cleaned... painted... new studs... new high performance model B gasket















oh yes..
















so much cleaner











me workin on my baby













lowered an 1 & 1/2... looks alot better














i added my little detail touch on the fan blade.. like the old bombers had on the propeller..











another little touch of mine... i love small detail stuff like that.. and i love to see if people notice
















it looks amazing!!!

















this is just a cool picture!!! that exhaust manifold gasket has got to go though.. i have a much better one i need to put on


















mmm purdy!!














sooooo much better looking






















so fresh and so clean













WOW!!! that made a huge difference

















my heater... new hoses... touched up fan blade
