Injunmort, my understanding is that you need to pressure test the head to detect cracks and mere visual inspection is worthless when we're dealing with hairline cracks and those cracks that may not be visible on the surface of the head.
Another thing....what do you mean by valve lash and what is involved in adjusting it? Please advise, thanks.
