Dat Lurka Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Yeah that one :sleep: We flip a Benz every year to pay the outrageous property taxes. Looking to get around 5500$ for it. Still need to put the hatch struts in and get a button for the arm rest to complete it. Quote Link to comment
squatches Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 no major progress so far, besides cleaning some of the parts. The head is going to the machine shop monday, and gasket set should be in around wednesday or thursday. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Congrats on your new job. It looks like they milled the head too far. Or is that something other than A14 head? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Looks like it's a closed chamber head. ;) Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 yay shiny. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Yes, closed chamber heads come on several USA models, especially the round-port A14s. But it doesn't look familar. Was it milled down into the spark plug area? here are three A14 closed chambers and one open chamber Quote Link to comment
