Re: Self ported/polished heads and intakes

Looks about like mine, but i also did a full valve job. You going to deck it at all?

Just finished painting my valve covers black with the 3 lines polished to a mirror shine.. they look amazing.. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Did you use the standard abrasive porting kit?

I have the deluxe porting kit, die grinder, heads, and the intakes are on their way.. I'm going to start mine tomorrow.

I don't have the intake gaskets yet.. what should I do tomorrow? Just like, take out the casting lines/start the valve guide/smooth short side radius?

go to autozone and buy the gaskets

what kind of valve job did you get and how much did it cost you? what valves are you using? stock?

what is porting? using a grinder to make the holes bigger?

5 angle. I actually took a class on engine rebuilding, which for a relatively small fee gets you unlimited access to all the machinery and stuff. I used stock valves but refinished with some modification for better flow.
