Do I hear an echo in here?

What would those changes be and are they significant? Obviously the measurements haven't changed neither has the cooling passages since any yr head gasket and internals will work.

Oh and I never mentioned it but Gtuned.com looks like its gonna be one of the best personal sites so far. Love the AFC tuning.
