what he said! also stateside will quote you on refurbing and machining your heads, they dont carry stock anymore and as such it currently about a month wait. They quoted me £280 per head for new valves and seats....
As far as I'm aware the case is the same and the lifters fit in exactly the same holes! From what I've read it's easy to strip it down and not notice you have hydro lifters and different pushrods.
That'll be standard stuff... Your pricing earlier on the big valve 44x38 heads requires you sending Jim a pair of core heads that aren't cracked!! Yep, the cases are the same, just the cam, lifters and push-rods that are different
That's serious money , I did my own guides ,valves and 3 angle valve job plus a bit of port matching . Where's the fun in paying someone else ?
Not everyone has the tooling available or the skill to use it at home Thats not to say certain things cant be done with a little research and improvisation
That was fairly simple I still have both the cutters I made somewhere .....one for the 8mm one for the 9 mm shaft , basically a large valve with a carbide insert . Ok I did cylindrically grind the valves but a lathe and dremmel would produce same effect
I'll think of something, it's in my genetic code...it's all part of of my job......Your welcome Oops fet fingered
