The clear yellowed a bit on the cylinder heads, but we are going to fix that with another coat of white/clear mix for the cylinders.

Made 184HP and is expected to make a bit more once it is all settled in and the rings are seated better.

Brian,
Nice HP output! Good to know it won't be a slug...

Do you think the yellowing on the heads (obviously caused by the combustion heat) will be a persistent problem?

we will see, not a huge deal if it is but I am hopeful a top coat will solve that.
