My experience is of course very limited -- this 195.6 ohv in
the car, and the head I got off the junkyard '63 classic.

But both had been "recently" rebuilt, which makes sense for
a 45-year-old motor "recently" on the road. Not many engines
last 45 years without at least a valve job!

So maybe the heads cracked when the cars were more normal
end-of-life (5 - 15 years old?) got replaced, then the cars sat
before we got 'em.  The running-then-sat-out-back thing seems
common enough!
