Good morning everyone...
I am the new owner of 1974 850 Roadster with 8,500mi. Picked it up last fall and have it running very well but one of the exhaust threads is shot and the head is now getting ready to go to Jim Comstock for thread repairs.
Since the head if off what else should I be looking for “while I am in there”?
Carbon buildup is minimal but a good layer of oil coated the front of the engine behind the crossover...will the new Head gasket fix that? The two nuts underneath the front of the head were not much more than finger tight.
