Thanks. Tim please do link the issue of flow direction.

I am adding a lot of info to the how-to article, and also would like to know how to drill those 6 water jacket holes in the head.

Place the head gasket for a 261 on the head and mark the holes for placement? Then drill a ?? size hole at a ?? angle in the head ?? deep. How about beveling the holes? Concerns when doing it? etc.

Also, the 848 head (not sure the full number) is a higher compression head I believe than the other numbered 235 heads, but is it the SAME as the native 261 850 head?
