Thanks Bob,
It would be nice to hear from some of the others. You are the only person
to reply. Thanks! This auto stuff is new to me. It is going to take some
re-educating to get up to speed on this one. I'll do a research based on
what you've told me.
On the Dakota scene, I'm going down to pick up my heads tonight. They
tanked, glass-beaded, and pressure tested them. No cracks; yes!!! I'll be
porting and polishing this weekend, then back to the shop to re-grind the
valve seats and back-cut the valves. The new cam should be showing up first
of next week. Also need to squeeze in a little more polish and paint. Have
a good weekend. I'll keep in touch.
Rich

Should be a piece of cake for you, Rich, after all the work that you do in
your
engine. Downside is being on your back for lengthy periods ... involves
removing valve body (watch out for dropping balls), drilling some larger
holes,
maybe replacing a couple of parts (accumulator, spring, balls, etc.).
If you get a Transgo kit, I gather instructions and install video are good.
A few on the list have done their own ... maybe they can give more details.
Bob
