On a funny side note, I have a -30 rating on Imgur now since a few of
the posts of these drive heads were posted with names like "dirty
bottom" and "clean top".
Ooops. Looks like drive heads are not a proper kink...

Well, I did check the head pretty thoroughly before installing it: One

un-surprisingly, one of the most valuable. (A TU56 sold on eBait for $7K back

The head likely has something on it that you missed. Use your finger to feel
the head. Your finger is quite sensitive to tiny roughness. Of course, clean
your finger oil off before putting it back in. Make sure that first landing
area is smooth and flat. Almost all of the head needs to have the
