Matt,
Why removed the heads? Why not remove the cylinders for inspection. If you are getting water in the cylinders and it is an original setup, there must be something else going on. If you were working on a headless cylinder you’d have to pull the cylinder. If you remove the cylinders, mark were the piston ring gaps are so you can correctly position them upon reassembly.
I’m glad to know Doug does not have any left. I bought 2 sets a couple of years ago for 2 restorations I have in the future and I sent a nice used set to one of our Swedish members. So I’m going to keep a close eye on my stock.
Almost finished with the ’28 Speeditwin I picked up at Tomahawk. One wrist pin was really bad and I machined a new one. The JOhnson PO wrist pin will fit perfectly but the original was bronze, so that’s what I replaced it with.
