    Talking about heads....

    Well i picked up my head from the machine shop today, i'm still punching my nuts because i should've done a port job at least while i had it there...oh well.

    I had it install new valve seals, resurfaced and made o-rings so i don't go blowing off gaskets in the near future. Question and comments welcome.

    Btw, i never noticed before...but, do all m20 camshafts have a white K printed on them?

    Do machine shops in Puerto Rico not have assembly lube?

          Money well spent, you think? Notice anything? Quieter, smoother, whatever?

            I'll let you know when I make the first attempt to start the car. Seeing as my car has no sound deadening at all, I dont see it being quiet. Will it be smooth? doubt it... whatever? yeah, about sums it up.

              Of course its money well spent. It lowered the front of his car 2". :P

              Did you build a stroker too? I dont remember.

              Also are you (skat) going to do anything else? Like take a dremel to polish or anything?
