A work of engineering art. It must be like magic when the CNC works its magic on a
big chunk of 6061. Do the heads have to be heat treated after machining?

Come to think of it, I think we used pre-heat treated 7075 material.
I think the most painful part of the head project is that we did not have a mill big enough to put the block in and use the DRO to figure out the bore, water jacket and stud locations. I did all the deck surface, pan/girdle measurements, etc - using a 24" dial caliper! Now THAT took a long time . . .
