I see you have flat top pistons in that 216 ? . This would be a 1941 onwards US sourced engine. The head was designed to go with those pistons.

The Canadian engines had the domed cast iron pistons e.g. CMP's used . If you try to fit the other type of head the domed pistons hit the head !

They also changed the valves and other minor changes , so be aware of this when ordering parts
