G'Day Mike, I take it you bought the "160" head and cylinder block from the same seller? Looks like you got the top end off a K0 mate? I can't see why you can't the cylinder block with the later head, (can you drill and tap a hole there?) but I think the extra 6mm screw was to reduce oil leaks, (not that my K0 leaks oil) so I'd suggest that you replace the original cylinder studs with heavy duty APE studs, particularly since you're gonna be revving the pisss out of that 836? Cheers, Terry. ;D   
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Yup, already got the APE studs.  That and the Ti Retainers, and the Kibblewhite HD springs.  Also a Webcam 63a....

The cleaned up combustion chambers were on the 160 head, however, I just took my trusty steam cleaner and a stiff nylon brush to the 27 head and it came out looking pretty good.  This head is going to MRieck anyway, maybe I should ask him about the extra bolt...
