[TECH] Head Install Questions

[abatzis2@hotmail.com (Michael Abatzis)]

to take care of the obvious first, how much clay? if the amount of clay is 
larger than the combustion chamber at tdc, i think you'd have a problem. 
also, why have it in all 4 cylinders? i'd be worried about getting the clay 
under valves and stuff. it was my understanding you put it in 1 cylinder, 
turn to tdc, and then dissassemble, but i dunno...
