    I pulled the 181k mile heads off my black gtp, stored them in my shed for about a year, then slapped them on a l26 and ran them for 30k miles and had no issues.

    Now that is pure luck, but it's dry enough where you are at that the heads won't rust solid in that time. Here if you have exposed steel it will start to rust before you can get primer on it.

    Bobc455,

    How, with what I would assume was a worn out timing set and have it jump full retard by a tooth still manage to keep the engine running?

    Very poorly and sounding funny. But it can run.
