Yeah we're thinking you lapped them not ground. If ground, must be in same hole. If lapped, check for leaks. Turn head on exhaust side, prop up, fill intake ports with solvent, kerosene or the like. If it leaks thru to the combustion chamber, well...
Same on Exhausts. any leaks, mean relap, or relocate.
yes, I meant lapped.
I used permatex silicon carbide valve GRINDING compound, which I guess is why I called it grinding I guess. I hope that was the right product.
anyway, They all seem to hold solvent.
I thihnk that it was a bit of a false alarm. To make a long story short:
When lapping, I used the numbering on the rubber intake boots as a reference. Then I flipped the head over and wrote those corresponding numbers on the head to keep it straight.
My confusion arose when i noticed that the numbers on the opposite sides of the boots were "backwards", and the numbers that I had written were backwards with regard to the actual cylinder numbers.
Simply put, I now believe that I put them back into the holes into which they were lapped. Although my numbers did not actually correlate to the actual cylinder numbers the way we normally think of them.
