Builder wasn't happy with numbers, so is milling head for near 10 compression and reworking head. Extra work being done at no cost! Headers would not seal and were checked on 2 different heads. They had to be welded and machined to fit properly. My understanding is no difference between shorty heanders and full length due to the sequential nature of the I6. I will post more info as it becomes available.
