Hey ah-kay...you're old cross town sdl buddy here....I say rip for it. I know you have the 603 skills, regardless of some these poster's comments.

Re 603 w/#14's...my old sdl 603 #14 head is rolling beautifully past 449,000 miles this week & I'm sure there are a few "cracks" in that old "inferior" casting.

Heck, drive with the cap loose a notch if we're worried about blowing up the cooling system. (LOL here come the flames). About every other year I think I should be having a cracked head problem...because so many say so...been that way for a decade & a half...so I leave the cap loose for a while. No cooling difference seen at the gauge (80 to 85)...Cap has been back tight for the last year.

After reading all these posts I suppose I should loosen the cap again.

Stick to your guns and see how it works. I'll lend a hand too!
