In case anyone is interested, I picked up my head from the machine shop this evening. Had a full valve job done, and had the mating surfaces planed. They said it was a little warped, and ended up taking off about .008". Not too bad. Got brand new valve seals too.












A lot more pictures of the whole project can be found on my web site, www.team2nr.com , under the Projects section. Have a look!

Mine flows more.

Mine has blue and yellow superflow power ink.

i guess ill join in.

Might as well jump on the bandwagon.

Those were the really cool cam gears! The belt rode on them about 50% of the way from falling off so there was less friction. I picked up 12 WHP. Ugh.

Did some work to my valve cover...

You guys sound like a bunch of 1st graders at show and tell. I'm just glad my head is working .... :)

Couldn't find a picture of my SS valves, but I wanted to play too... :P


This was built by ERT. Probably the reason why it's fine and the rest of the engine is scrap metal right now... :(

Thank for the flowbench numbers. ERT did an awsome job on that head..sorry bout the rest of the engine :(

haha, i remember that head, driggs, did you slit your wrist in that pic?
