SF native, can't tolerate more than 80 or less than 65.

It was foggy and cool in SF today, maybe 70. In Marin it was more like 75-90, depending on what side of Tam you were on and how close to the water you were. I am glad the rain is done, no drag racing in the rain.

Because Felpro's are here today. And if you read the description they come from the same supplier.

"Same supplier as Mahle, Clevite, Fel-Pro, others. High temp Viton Fluoroelastomer for both intake and exhaust side, same material/part for both sides of the head."

I have felpro's from oreilley showing up today. And Mahle in the mail from rockauto.

Wholesaler closeout. Must have had a bunch. Glad I got my order in.

Those will be spares though. O'Reilly was able to get me Felpros in today. So I'll be tossing those in.

In case anyone is wondering, 2 clicks to get it to fully seat...not 1.

Also thankful. Codrus pointed out that the small shims are supposed to go under the supertech seats. The machine shop decided to lose mine, so I am pulling the set from my spare head.

They are valve spring seats. .005" seats that go between the spring and the head.

so there is a shim under the seat? Sorry, I've never seen a torn down head in person before so excuse my lack of knowledge.
