mhs?
So got to the point to change oil, filters, and new coolant. ...
Coolent poured directly into crank case, via what appears to be a hole drilled from the chain tensioner oil feed directly into the water jacket under the thermostat, mhs needs to do better than this....took 3 days to find the problem.

I only brought it up because your oil filler tube is on the left side of the motor, same as a 1998 (NPI motor), i think they switched in 99 (PI motor) and put it on the right side, could be wrong.
If it is the NPI like Soldier said you will get a nice bump in HP due to the increased compression ratio and better air flow, good luck

Out of 50 years of building, this was a first, I did see other issues with the heads, one was said cleaned and inspected followers.
One was scored, and the wheel grinds....so I put gt 500 followers in, second was china valve seals, I just think usa made felpro belongs in a perfomance head, to top all this off, I spent a month getting a gasket match perfect, and cleaning up all ports.
The more I think of this the more pissed I get, ya what about . Bolts, gaskets, fluids, and cleaning products I need to get this right, and my "free labor".
Still in shock, no excuse to send a head out with oil/coolent mixing.....just in shock.
