Started engine & head work

[XLR8ING]

Finally got some time to rip my heads down, and started polishing the valves. Here's the intake and exhaust from cylinder 2.

Nothing too exciting, but it's taken me months to get this far, so just thought I'd share.

RE: Started engine & head work

Good to hear some thing is happinig! can't wait to see your car running at the track again!

[Mars]

Excellent! I hope you can handle all the new competition. :P

[v6h.o.]

You've made more progress than I have in the last year :P
Going to be running again this year Franz?

[RidgeRunner]

Franz, I almost forgot, if you ever get out to St thomas, just e-mail me, I'll try to meet you there.

Thanks guys, and sorry for the delay. I wasn't getting updates via email for some reason.
I haven't made it to the track this year at all. Been so busy with work, it's just nuts right now.
Car definately won't be running this year. It's gonna be a long process because I don't want to compromise on anything I don't absolutely have to. And as we all know, less compromise equals more cash.
And sorry for the pics not working. Should be fixed now.
And Mars, I'll let you know if I get a chance to hit the track, though I'll only be watching for now.

Franz haven't seen you in the longest time! I'll have to make a trip down there again before the end of the year. But yeah always looking forward to what comes out of your garage

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well all this time I thought you wre going to turn the new Van into a SPORT VAN. !!!!!!!!!!!

[XLR8ING]

Thanks guys, and Luis, I've been in your neck of the woods ALOT lately. Just opened a new store at Sheppard and Brimley in Scarborough. Been practically living there for the last 3 weeks.

[XLR8ING]

Got the heads back from the machine shop, and polished the combustion chambers and exhaust ports.
Didn't take off much in the ports, just smoothened them up, since they were already ported years ago.

I dont know who you are but why didnt you just get SS valves?

[XLR8ING]

I've thought about it, but with everything else I need, I want to save money where I can.
The SS valves I believe are lighter, but I like doing things myself rather than just buy everything.
