Thanks for the heads up (pun intended &#128514
What tricks have you used to keep the heads sealed in the past, I understand your heads are far from stock now!

When I dropped a valve seat last time (18psi) we saw no evidence of the heads leaking which is good 👍

Unfortunately none that can be used on cast iron liners.
Even then, I promised it was their intellectual ownership or s/th...

What helps are new heads (AMC seem a slightly better alloy) and keeping the bore stock, so preferably no machining that weakens the head. Good cooling and a really good tune are also just as important (and often overlooked/mistaken).
None of this is cheap though, I realize. But turbo is hp and there just is no cheap hp.
