    If got a mate that has the following problem.
    Last Year he took of the first head of his engine and put some new valves and valvegides in no problem 2 weeks ago he took of the other head and the valves and valvegides at much to small.

    The '55 heads have an "8" cast on the center exhaust outlet. See picture. Sorry I can't take off a valve cover (health problem) to check the casting number.

    I have taken a look at the site a lot of information but not the headcasting numbers from the older heads but we found information where we can go further with.
    Thanks
