Head Work Picture Diary

Well I started Thursday but just got some pictures today. I'm going to port-match these heads and do a valve job, then polish the combustion chamber and intake/exhaust ports. When I'm done I'm going to buy a cam, lifters, pushrods, 1.6 roller rockers, and new springs and retainers. Then I'm going to swap these heads with the stockers and install the cam and new valvetrain.

So anyway this will be a little picture diary to show my progress.

are you doing all the work yourself? good luck heh, make sure everything is accurate Can't wait to see what you lay down when you get all of this stuff done, it'll be one fast 6, that's for sure.
