It was a battle! That head was glued on pretty good. Didn't break any studs, but did back two out of the block. Head looks great, and the valve guides are not as bad as I expected either. The piston tops don't have any stampings that indicate overbore, just a big D and either 6-606 or 909-9 stamped on them. Such a small bore, I was in awe. These engines only put out 80 horsepower new, so divide that by the 6 cylinders and it is only 13.3- horses each cylinder "if and when they all work equal". Most lawnmowers have more horsepower. I suppose the whole conversation about old verse new horsepower could be brought up, since that has become a marketing nightmare aimed at uninformed customers. Low end "cool operating" torque against a "high heat" high RPM engines, just don't compare.

Have to finish tearing it down tonight. Want to drop the block off at the cleaners this weekend.
