850 Destruction

Iffin you remember back in the post i metioned Red and Blue shim buckets, were they were all Red on cylinder head 1, on this cylinder head 2, all are Blue except for 2 exhaust buckets which are Red, think you may be right Studs in that one or t'other was preceded.

Been having a look at the head and it's interesting to see that 3 of the buckets dont want to sit in the bores without some encouragement, valves and springs are out, could be a difference in temp as they were stored in different rooms but i dont think that's the case, may need to trim the shoulders were they wont fit, luckily not on the cam bearing side..

And the odd shim with #7 stamped in the middle, anyone seen these before ?
