I've been looking for some pictures of a car with ESM 012s. Yours pulls them off perfectly. I'm looking into getting a set in gold this summer.

[sweet6e30]

Thanks ,i really like the mesh design of the 012's i only wish that they wider for the rears as to have a staggered set. keep in mind that the gold ones will have a silver center cap

i am looking into picking these up
ESM-002R SL 17x8.5 and 17x 10

taking the old head apart, to use my old cam and rockers in the new head on its way since they r in great shape




replaced the cam seal and O ring, organized all the parts and loosed all the valve adjusting eccentrics

old head with crud build up


cleaned up the old rocker shafts so the rockers can move freely and the shafts wont bind up as they r being removed, i already tapped very lightly the exhast side shaft with a small piece of wood and it moved nie a freely.

i lost my brass drift punch so ill have to wait to remove the rocker shafts and cam untill the stores open from the long holiday weekend to go a get another set
cam lobes look good



NEW HEAD

meadia blasted and cleaned up, pressure tested, leak tested, resurfaced, nice and straight, and a DUAL angle valve job
