I drove two hours to the machine shop to check the progress on the head work. Things are moving... albiet slowly, but moving. On this project, it is Quality over Quantity. It's kind of hard getting good pictures of head ports with a crappy little camera but here it goes:

So I guess you can figure out what angle this is from... at least it if from the intake side. Notice how the port has contoured all the way into the valve guides. We're opening that puppy up!

Here is a closer view of one the contours.

Now - the above two pictures are on the ports that have been ported and contoured. On cylinder 5 we have continued to port all the way around the backside of the valve stems. This will be more compressed air onto the back side of the valve when under boost. It looks a bit rough as it is still work in progress, but once smoothed out and polished... it will look pristine.

This is a shot up the mock cylinder on the air flow machine of cylinder 5. Not all to sexy, but this is the view your piston gets all day... just a bit darker.

Well, I have some other goodies to post but that will be for tomorrow. Calling it a day.
