There is a noticable difference between the two. My machine shop says the casting # 6107412 will have less compression. Will it be noticeable? | | |

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Be yourself. If you are ever lost, It will be much easier to find yourself if you know who you are!

Also be careful about swapping rocker shafts, pushrods etc from one head to the other as there were some changes over the years. You may save some grief by looking for another 4819 head. | | |
