• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Lol really now... Hmm trust someone who has been working with heads and specializes in them for many years... Or trust myself for a very expensive build on something very important that I have never done before? :confused::th_thumbsup-wink:
 


^^^^yeah, smart ass, the people in question work at the machine shop, just be cause YOU can't do it doesn't mean that others can't. kfish, find a shop near u $$$talks someone there will do it.

hes pretty much saying watch them do it and learn a thing or two and maybe you could start doing your own.......




or you could sit around, never try and learn anything, and always pay other people to do things for you.......


your choice.

I don't I do all my own work, I wouldn't trust myself working on the heads of my own car for the first time.
 
well you sound like a do it yourself'er. heads are not that complicated, if you go to the shop and learn and they show you what to do and you flow bench it and see positive gains, what is the big issuie with that??????????


its not rocket science, but at the same time, if you dont know what your doing you could hack some heads up, but that is the point of going to the shop and learning from the guys that know what there doing :th_thumbsup-wink:
 
^^^that was my point i was trying to make.someone , somewhere can show u or teach u. yes a big time professional can can get even more results:i.e. access to flow bench. any DIY'er can portmatch the gaskets to about 1" or so inside the ports. also polish/slick as owl sh!t, the runners. under the valves is critical, even i get advice on this. 3or 5 angle valve job., better valves. do it atleast 1 time, some can doit others can't. Me , i and have screwed up some aluminum heads before(easy to repair)..so, go get 'em
 
i practiced valve jobs on my cracked heads
it takes a certain feel to do it right i tore up the left head and made the right head look sexy

Ive also seen a few hack jobs on full port work I need to find some heads to practice on
 
that's how u do it.^^^^now i've never lapped the valves in except for on a lawn mower. i have not set up the spring heights either. but the port match and cleaning uder the valves, yes... i will be more involved in this head rebuild of mine.
 


Good news, someone got fired from work. so im gonna be getting at least 32 hours a week for the next 2 months. im thinkin ill order the cam in about 2 weeks, get the retainers and stuff 2 weeks after that, etc. Ill be makin enough to live off 1 check and blow the other. Sooooo...maybe ill have some pics soon :D:D:D:D.
 


lookie what i have :D
