Looks like you sent your head to the machine shop with cams, valves and cam timing belt pulleys still on?
That didn't cause any problems for them or you?
How did they leak and crack test your head?

I really never knew cast iron could look like that. But what do I know this is my first head gasket job ever.
Im not liking the idea of it blowing again after 10,000 miles so stock it is.
Still haven't gotten the head back yet. I'm very anxious to put her back together.
Just for those who want to know I've decided to use ARP studs instead of bolts. Do the cams have to be out to torque the ARP nuts?
