Good day at the Junk yard



I don't know what my head was on to start with.  I got it from a vortex guy
and it's a p&p hydro head that he couldn't use in the class he was in.  It
looks like it was a air shrouded one, but it was missing the "nipple" and
plate for the vacuum line.  I made a block off plate and it is held on with
one of the tapped bosses.  I'll have to find some way around that.
The runners look to be an inch or two longer than my old ones.  You think
that will change the way it makes power?
