    Can the Drivers side Head be removed while engine is in the Tiger?

    There used to a "rule of thumb" sort of opinion at the local drag racing scene in the late 70's, that .030" over what was the absolute limit for over-boring a 260/289. I think it came from Chittendon's book? Some claimed any engine bored over .030" would chronically overheat.
