I'll need to see if I can get an end as they all tested to 4.8-4.9, but one was 5.5 and I'd like to get them all spot on.
What year was the one you were working on? This set is Early..stamped 85 on the head.

the engine originally was aeuro model, but the block was damaged byond repair, it was rebuilt using a bored out california emissions block, it was later than 1985, where would you get those ends? seems as though they were only specific to that motor,, after the rebuild the engine had a severe pinging issue, i believe the compression ratio was way too high,, what octane fuel do you use?
