340 Hydraulic lock inspection update...
Head off now. Valve head punched through water jacket and machine shop said it was a throw away and couldn't guarantee a weld repair. Motor still won't turn over. From what I can see, cylinder wall looks fine. So far it looks like I'm up for...
1. One replacement x or j head machined to match the other side and a replacement trw high compression domed piston/pistons if I can find them. Ideally because I keep my 475+ hp.
2. Two new eddy heads machined to limits and lower compression flat tops. Not ideal beacause I'll struggle to have 475 hp.
Then who knows what ill find when I look at the rods, crank!
