I'm hugely relieved to hear that info, Lyn. It had been troubling me since the heads were modified. I couldn't find anything that told me why they wouldn't work without messing with em.

I took the heads to local engine rebuild place and they did the hard work. We used a head gasket as the pattern where to grind the chambers back to. Figured it was probably a strange quirk with the French flathead blocks. Guess it was a quirk with dear ole Henry instead. He must be up there laughing at all the confusion he's caused!
