I'm satisfied with the end result of the dud transaction. Don't get me wrong, I wish I'd never bought the bloddy thing with the anguish it's caused me, but there's no point brooding over it. Ive let it consume me already as a couple have seen first hand but you know what. I'll make this work for me.

Although the CR 14 is sold, I'll still be sorting a cheap gearbox alternative for the new owner. I'm pretty sure he wants findings published, I'll find out first but with our state laws I'd need to run factory hardware and that could be a problem. Th CG13 has the dizzie problem to get around but might be easier. I'm not sure.

But lt looke like I've teed up an A14 and with what's left over from the A12 I should be able to make a fairly quick engine for Fang. While I won't sell the bent GX head I'll do some work to it and use it myself. It's 72 Bh on the ends and 66Bh in the middle. Others won't guarantee it under 70Bh so for hardness it's just below the cutoff. I'll strip the head, straighten it, mill the top smooth, mill the head face then do some timesert's in the dud threads. It's a gamble but it might pay off. At least I have acess to a mill. So it's only time I guess.
