Ok I will order and replace the ring. That's a good idea. Dealer only item, I assume?

I ordered the replacement bushing, spacer, bolt and the bronze bush from Phil on this site.

Now all I have to do is decide whether to put it back together, or go for the head. I do have the manifold and the turbo off already... I mean, I know you said put it back together first, but.. are you SURE?

How heavy is the head?
