whitespider80's head
first a few pictures as the head arrived. it was in the most elegant box, awesome craftsmanship
broken camshaft housings
fast forward to all cleaned up!
these pictures are a before and after of a 3 angle seat cut
after
hand lapped valves, note the darkened area on the valve face, this is the sealing area
valves and springs installed
i did not do this work, but someone installed helicoils in 12 of the camshaft housing holes, they did use wrong length hardware. i replaced with original.
head assembled, valve adjustment tomorrow

Re: whitespider80's head
Head looks great Beek.
It's in the car now, just working on putting everything back together now.
Just finished putting the timing belt on, had to pull the radiator to get the crank pulley off, the inner timing cover was a hassle. Who's idea was that any way? LOL
Any solid information on where the timing mark on the auxiliary pulley is supposed to be? The manual has a picture with the hole at about the 1 O'clock position.
Thanks for the crate compliment u should see my commissioned work.

Re: whitespider80's head
LOL.
Really it's just a shipping crate.
How do you post pictures off an SD card anyway?
I wanted to share all the install pics...... and a box pic ha ha
Figured out the picture thing.
Here is the installed head from BEEK
I guess I'll start an off topic thread for shipping crates? LOL

Re: whitespider80's head
yes 1 o clock is fine for the aux shaft, please turn the engine over by hand a few times just to be sure.
and yes the box, it is a work of art
