Was hoping somebody knew what all was needed but I may have to call PP and see if they know or can find out. The vacuum pump is coming off because I snagged a nice updated covered bearing pump from the local PnP. I've been reading about the head swap so I'm almost ready. Just have to take the head to machine shop to get checked out before I install it.


Interesting. I have been amassing parts to do the top end on my SDL, just have not purchased the gasket set yet nor the updated timing cover.

Any links on the 606 gasket modification?
