Porting Head Myself???
Heres the question,
1) Has anyone done this
2) Am I stupid for trying this myself. I plan to use my spare
head from my 84' 4kq Turbo Conversion Project to do a mild port/polish on
it and then put it on my 85' 4kq which needs a new Head Gasget anyways. I
can get the grinder bits and stuff I need for $50 from the Eastwood
Company. Seems simple enough. At least the polishing part. Dont know
about porting so I may just polish.
3) WHat gains can I expect from this. 10 hp with a freer reving
motor up high. Will I lose anything. I can see only plusses to doing
this.
4) Also, I should replace Valve Seals when I am in there right?
How much are these usually and how hard are they to do once I'm in there?
Thanks
