this was rather simple to do.... I did not double check the hold downs.. one was not tight enough.......

This is /was a Dodge 2.2L/2.5L SOHC

when it was thrown out of the machine, it also shattered the cutter blade ($290.00 later) I have another on the way....

this is a good example of why alum heads are soo great to work on.... this head that is mangeled... can still be saved..... some welding and some grinding then resuface the head. and a pressure test.. it would work just fine...

Its just not cost feesiable to go thu all that work to save this head, when another casting is readily avaiable.
