Awesome write-up! I'd give you a plus but I don't have enough posts yet

For parts cleaning, have you just been using gasoline or have you been using any other commercial cleaners? I have NEVER seen a motor that NASTY on the inside before but you're getting it all nice and shiny again

Edit: And is there where I say something about owning this page? :P

ok i was unhappy with the heads i alrdy did because of the "old" valves and too much play in the valveguides so i decided to
order the stainless valve kit from TFS and startoverwith a fresh ugly head set

the new valves and roller tip rockers


my 2nd head set


summary :

still to do :
- porting the 2.nd head set
- refreshing the engine wiring harness
- building me a set of vacuum lines
- overhaul a EGR Solenoid
- building or buying a egr tube
- lil cosmetic work for the upper intake
- getting fresh engine mounts
- rebuilding the alternator
- and of course put all the stuff together in correct order

You're not kidding. That head is a damn ugly sight alright.

We'll all be expecting quite a transformation. I suspect you won't be letting us down.

Timingchain + Dampener installed , cylinder 1 and 4 are at Top and Dots line up but it

Wow, you move fast.

Could you please explain how you go about porting the heads,
what tools do you use ?
How long did it take you to do one head ?

Thanks in advance
