| Got word that three of the four valve pocket areas in the head from my Conti F163, are cracked. And the head is warped .004 to boot. Anyone know where I can find another head? Internet searching leads me to rebuild kits, but no replacement heads. I've stopped repairing everything till I find out if the engine is going to live again or not. Rumor is I can run it for short bursts, but I'm blowing combustion into the cooling system and overheating the engine. Otherwise I may have a ACC-40 for sale, in need of TLC |

| Call 573-826-9065 and ask for Ross. This is in central Mo but he fixes a lot of cracked tractor heads and is reasonable. He will at least can give you some honest ideas. Leon |
