Aloha everyone. Got the head off the 258 last week. after breaking the bolts on the engine stand. Come to find out that #6 piston is stuck. (air chisel time) going to rebuild with new pistons, rods crank, etc. going 30 over. so needless to say it will be a while before I install it. Its hard to find a good machine shop here on this rock. I will also be porting and polishing the head before i send it out to be shaved and ground. Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving. Oh. by the way, after the aqua marine paint job, the beasts name will be (secret clearence):D
