if that head already comes decked, magnafluxed for cracks, and comes with new valves etc then i would def go that route.

i have $1300 into my head to have all that done

 

there is a machine shop in hagerstown, md that does good work. i am not sure the name of it but if you are interested i can find out. u live right in middletown? i am right across 67 and go through middletown a good bit going to frederick to play indoor soccer. josh

 

i just sent the guy an email to find out if all that work has been done, if it has ill be buying the finished head. the ad said fully rebuilt and new valves.

 

hey if anyone knows where to get a scrap 12v or 24 v 2nd gen and 3rd gen head let me know i have a friend of the family that owns an engine shop and he would like to play with the heads on his flow bench and see what he can do in light of porting the intake and exhaust.

 

Been there done that..
Unless you really do some major port work a quick cleanup and bowl port does not really warrant the cost to do it.We acid ported the head first,benched it then did a basic port(cleanup and bowl port) and then went all out and found that while you may gain a tad in flow or egt reduction the costs will not offset the gains.To really make the head flow for better egt control and power you need to lop off the intake and go with a redesigned sheetmetal intake and that cost would scare you.

I will have to look around I may have the other half of that head here somewhere if you want to see for yourself what you find........Andy

 

Yeah, I went the lop off the intake route. I don't even want to know how much money I have into that.

 

i'm not looking at porting my head he is just wanting to port some and flow test them so he can play and see what he can do. he builds gas and alcohol dragster engines all the time. he is wanting to get into playing with the diesels a little more he does cummins engine work for the watermen here in maryland

 

dieseldent, let us know if that head is done right. ill be looking for one in the near future.
