Now, he's got ARP's in his motor

The head doesn't ALWAYS get warped either. Its typical and a GOOD probability, but not always the case. In the same sentence, NEVER put a HG in an over heated motor with out having it checked though. If its still no good after being decked, then your block is probably warped.

You can check them yourself... Guess noone knows how to use a straight edge and a flash light huh... lol

Plus a shaved head depending on how much it was shaved can gain alittle hp also over stock lol
