When you pay that kinda money for a reconditioned head, you should not have to check for straightness. The final trip to the other farm was to remove the cab and get the tillage equipment, so that I could put it to work. The book was followed. We have put together many perkins engines and have not had any problems of this nature. If I wanted to mess around with the head, I would have bought an old head and the equipment to do it myself. When you buy an engine that has supposedly been rebuilt, you don't tear it apart before you use it and check bearing thickness do you? NO. And you shouldn't have to. You shouldn't have to check straightness of the head either, if is being sold as remanfactured and tested. If you are buying it as used, just off an engine, then yes, it needs checked. In reality, the total run time was more like 2 hours. Care was taken in assembly. All surfaces were clean. Gasket was put on with the correct orientation. And all of the bolts were torqued. I checked them all 3 times.
