Yep, in order to mount the JH head onto the EN block the oil return line
needs to be welded shut (on the head) and re-drilled smaller.
I am running the EN block (overbored to 82.5mm) with the modified JH head
and I like the power (not a monster tho').
A little headwork and a G-grind cam and you got yourself a nice little
motor.
