Well, it appears I have a slightly blown head gasket and I'm planning on replacing the head. Got a bit of mods to it...Steed Speed 2nd gen swap, DSP5, deleted, tuned etc. Previousl owner just seem to throw parts at it and I'm slowly correcting his work to make it all right. First things first is the head. Along with the work done to the truck so far I need to fire ring the head and have narrowed it down to either the Fleece Performance head of the Scheid Diesel head. Who can tell me of their experiences or things they've heard about either of these heads?

The Scheid uses Cummins valves/springs whereas the Fleece incorporates larger Manley valves, 105# springs etc. The Scheid with fire rings falls about $500 less than the Fleece but still has stock Cummins valves/springs. I can pay extra for inconel but that isn't really necessary as I don't place on racing or competing with it. Basically willbe one of my street vehicles (not primary) but will be using it to tow, pull people out of ditches etc.

Opinions/experiances please......and...GO!
