Oh, it looks like the intake and exhaust valves are swapped on the one head.

Bring back Windows™ XP and 7.
Windows™ Vista and Windows™ 8 is a pain in my a$$!
Windows™ 10 is only slightly less annoying!
Windows™ 11 is garbage!

Much to my surprise, I'm actually quite enjoying Linux!

BINGO!

They are the same diameter and length. The seats are cut at different angles but they'll still seal. The problem? The margin becomes too narrow and the valve material is WAY different. The exhaust valve is an inconel alloy and the intake is something ferrous that is way less heat resistant.

You win, Bill!

Thanks. I was trying to look at the pics on my phone earlier. Couldn't make out much detail. Now that I'm on the computer, it's much more evident.

Now with that said, maybe they confused the head with a prototype reverse-flow setup. LOL

At least one head was assembled correctly and able to be salvaged.

I bet it made one heck of a racket when it let go. The guy was pulling a trailer up a pretty good hill when it quit running.

curious, were you able to get the mfg/rebuild shop to cover the cost due to incorrect build?
