A while back I mailed a head or two to another member. USPS will take up to 70 pounds. They didn't even try to deliver to him, as I recall, but just delivered the "please pick up at the post office" slip.

One of the trucks I bought was running rough. But ran well enough to climb the ramps up onto my carhauler. When I took the heads off, one bank had no gasket at all between two cylinders and the upper passageway (lifter access). The other side had started blowing between two cylinders. So yes, I would second your experience. These trucks will run on 2 cylinders almost as well as on all 6. Almost.
