To delete multiple posts/threads click the "Edit/Delete Post" icon above your post. Then check the "Delete Post?" box. Finally, click the "Edit Post" button. If you would like to delete an entire thread that you started you can do so by simply deleting the original post that you made to start the thread.

BTW, being careful to only click the "Add Reply" or "Add New Topic" buttons only ONCE will help to make multiple posts/threads a rarity. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

If your heads DO NOT have that recessed area on each head, then NO. If your heads are totally flat on the perimeter mating surface then yes they can. Most likely they WILL have this recess.

Here is some very good technical info on the difference in the heads and head gaskets. I think you will find this helpful.
