Did you get a new valve cover with the new head? They're supposed to be a matched set. The cam journals are drilled with the two pieces together -- and aren't necessarily in the exact same place set to set.

no, could only get the head without the cover. I guess that's why it was so cheap ($60). However, everything seems okay.

I used some 1/8" flat plate and had my buddy weld some threaded bolts to it. I then attached the metal plate across the frame rails.

Wow, you've come a long way. Looking great! I love the z-bars. Did you do the paint yourself?

And by the way, did you hear about the guy that died while rappelling in a waterfall over your way? He was the son of my husband's boss. Awful tragedy.

No, didn't hear about the accident. Sorry for your loss.
