Ok, once again I blew my head gasket, Im not to worried about it, shit happens. But why does my head warp every time too? Ive had it machined twice now, and its out of spec .003 or 4. Im worried Im going to run out of lives machining this thing... what can I do?

Oh no! the 4g63 head swap is on topic again! what have we done! No, but seriously I would need to find an Evo 8 head as Ive heard its the only one that works, and all the bull shit involved in the swap (like a timing belt off a Galant???) and a bunch of other weird shit! that's pretty expensive... But for the hell of it, tell me what you know about this swap. Iv always heard about it, but never seen a parts list or anything. I really dont want to do a head swap as my 4g64 head is already built... obviously DOHC is better, but not when I have an HKS cam and all supporting internals. But what the hell, my heads off anyway sooo might as well entertain the idea. But I think we just opened Pandora's box lol.

Would you rather keep paying to get the built head machined and replaced, or would you rather swap a 4g63 head onto it and never have another problem? You also won't have to build that 4g63 head in order to get yourself your 350whp.
