SBC '89 block with AL heads....
L98 heads, went into hydrolock on pass side......pulled the head and had it worked over.....so question is......the driver side seems fine, no water turns over nice....intake passages look clean should I pull it anyway??
I have a friend who say to pull it anyway, and get it checked....honestly, due to my skeleton, I hate to bother...... Watt say yawl?? |

Pull it and get both heads up to AP&M on Jammes and Wilson to have them gone over and get anything fixed that you can't see with your old man vision.

You better go ahead and do it while there with access to it or it will be a nagging thought in your head forever.
What did they do to the bad one? How were the seats, etc...? |
