“Sticky” Plating Issues
I do hope that before Sunday Sticky will post on here and confirm that his engine build had three air leaks and the cylinder head was loose as he did not use my head nuts..

Hi Ron. The head was not blowing but I did find an air leak on one of the mag housing studs when I put the next kit on this engine. That could possibly have been a factor but even so the damage was something I've never seen on a plated barrel before.
