Re: Head Bolts won't line up
Jim, do you mean a Miller head produced in Denver? Are all Miller heads slanted on the left side? I believe mine is a Cragar since it is square all around. Of course, mine now has a Brierley cam.

Re: Head Bolts won't line up
George, you need to invest in a Dodge Brothers. Their head studs are fine thread in the block, 7/16 X 20 if I remember right. It goes against everything I know as a lifelong machinist. Rogeroadster, I'm glad you figured it out, sounds like an easy fix.

Since there were a number of different rocker boxes made, and they all fit other such heads, by itself, that does not prove anything about who made this head. Is there a large 'A' in the corner, top of head...outside the rocker box ? BTW..what LENGTH of bolts are you using/going to use ? Got to be careful there also.

Re: Head Bolts won't line up
Roger, I have Chevy main bolts on my B and have used them on many B's. I like the look and no seaping of water.

Re: Head Bolts won't line up
Further inspection reveals...Looks like someone has modified this head (shouldn't be surprised, these things have had long and colorful lives). Looks like the original hole size is 15/32, the left front hole has been counter bored to 1/2" all but about the last 1/2"of the depth of the hole then it remains 15/32". The left rear hole has been drilled out to 5/8" and then sleeved with a copper tube and reamed to 31/64". I'm thinking about reaming the left front hole the rest of the way to a size of 31/64". Does this sound dangerous?

Re: Head Bolts won't line up
some one may have tried to repair cracks by installing sleeves in bolt holes. I had a damaged miller head that was repaired that way. be sure to pressure test it. Also check your pushrod side clearance particularly if you are plugging the stock valve seats in the block with aluminum inserts. I found the rocker tips and tappets did not align causing the pushrods to rub on the insert.
