Shout out for a cool Canadian pelican

No, I'm not going to say who it is, but we have some very good people on this site.

One thing stalling my 3.0 build is I was searching for one good head to replace a not so great head. I mentioned this to another member and one showed up via Canada post
This was just before Christmas and the deal was I was to pay for shipping, but when I asked how would like me to pay (paypal, etc.) I got told "Merry Christmas"!

I just finished twin plugging it.



That's not a flaw, its chips mixed with wax, should have cleaned it better for the pic.



It's a perfect head, only small issue is it was cut for a MFI injector, but that's an easy fix. I'll just plug it and blend it in.


Here the bad head it's replacing, it had a bad exhaust stud repair, I think it's that aluminum solder stuff



And the bad head also had a broken intake stud boss.



Another bonus is I have to clean up the sealing surfaces, I can use the bad head for setup.

So I just want to say thanks, we have some members here that are just awesome and my build is now back on track.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
