lookforjoe Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 This my 2.3 head That looks good from a distance - but no matter how much I peer into the pic I can't see any detail of the port Do you have any close up pics to share? heres an early pic i found in my phone, before smoothing fckin charles wont let me post images so heres the links Dude, those look horrendous!!!! Looks like you removed to much of the flat - does the gasket actually seal properly? How long have you been running it since doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackT5 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 This is the one I remembered That's an older style head obviously, with oversized valves etc.. I think he spent more on that head than most people here spend on their engine build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzimark Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 That wasn't the finished head. These don't look stock It looks to me like someone took the stock valves and ground the chamber side flat. They're not any bigger than stock, although it appears that way at first glance.

Last I heard he sold the setup before it was tuned. Then he was going to buy it back. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 What sort of numbers does it make? I went back through his entire thread, and no numbers ever came up. The first head was also removed right after he got it running, so don't know what the finished head looked like at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Started cleaning up the ports on my new head - basically just removing the casting lines & gasket matching. Exhaust as it was starting to clean up the chambers Running a finger down the port - there was a bit of a 'hump' in the outside center area of the right passages - so I took some of that out Intake - bit of a hump just below the flange surface so I took that out & smoothed out the outer port B5254T2 cams, counter drilled for cam sensor & dist rotor plate Exhaust 8642712 Intake 8670354 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookforjoe Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 My car is a 2002 P2 and these are the only othe Nice build pics - I just took a look through - is that a Kalmar Union DM replacement flywheel? I'm thinking about getting one of those at some point. How's the car running? Any dyno #'s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
