he's afraid of ending up like you, although i dont think it has anything to do with the cat........

hahaha sorry but the pic was a must when mike and i saw it havent
measured the cc's yet, i dont think ill shave them as i want to run them on the turbo set up later, hopefully they increase the power a little over
the heads iv got now for warwick as they are much bigger anyway.... i stripped them down last night just to check that all the shims on the springs
are right (which they are not) and to tidy up the ports a little around the valve seats.... had a great time removing the studs to change to the
pauter ones, on one head they were a prick but came out, on the other they just wouldnt budge so i had a great 1hr session with the welder (welding
nuts to the end of the studs as they stripped the thread) long story, tell u when i see u.... as for comin over, that would be great, we'll have a
chill-ax night with a few munchies and beverages...give me a yell when you're comin up, should be sweet, no plans other than being at the shop as of
yet anyways.... tell beau he is more than welcome aswell..... and yeah got two fridges oh yeah and mike is taking the jig with him to work, so i assume he'll drop it off tomorrow for you..... dont take too long, i
need to put my heads back together lol

If you are using oval spring plates you will have to slot the holes
since they are not slotted like later ones to get toe adjustment.
