Default Re: water in the oil

Thouight I'd update you kind folks who took the time to enter suggestions. I'm the type of guy who likes to see things for myself before I bring in outside help. I wanted to check the head and deck for flatness before bringing it to a machine shop, so I ordered a machinists straight edge. It came yesterday. Sure enough, the head is warped. It's bowed upward (as installed) in the middle by .013 when measured lengthwise and diagonally, but it's flat from side to side. The block deck is also flat in all directions (phew!). I'll be looking for a machine shop today!
