Re: [Amc-list] WHat year 258's get water intake? Real world advantage?

er, the intake heater is disconnected and bits and pieces are stored
under my Apache camper. I had an incident. Head needs to come off
again.

Once I "de-incident" the 195.6, I'll be happy to puzzle through the
routing again.

Whoever mentioned bringing the head back to the machine shop and
having them check out the stuck valve wins the prize. Whoever goobered
around with the head, figuring since the valve opened and closed when
messing with it loses the prize. Not saying that's related to the
"incident" referred to above. Not saying it's not. But those pushrods
bend pretty easy!
