Ouch.

Based on the casting marks, it looks like a stock AMC head. Is it? Or am I just hallucinating? _________________ *****************

Ya they stretch at that point and eventually break and sort of looks like head gaskets still seated in the head. _________________ Brett

AMC head - yes. That was a PO rebuild.
On this rebuild, I'm thinking of going with a used set of OEM.
Thoughts on that vs. AMC heads through RIMCO, Headflow, or Hoffman? _________________ All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood
