You should tell Paul to get you a torque plate too

I might have to make a stop over there one of these days. Or meet halfway.

I think he and I (among others), had a conversation about this. He didn't think anyone would use certain ones after we left so he said he is keeping what he has and we'll have to get ones for ourselves if we want them. So I'll have one when the times comes for bottom ends.

Very true. It'll depend who I go with. MAP is supposed to be making some here shortly so I'm trying to hold out to get one from them. What do you all have for me out there?

[dsmreck]

Just one or two heads. I have a stock 6 bolt head that could get the full port job and the works and maybe another 6 bolt that needs to be decked for sure. I'll have to mic his head to see what's already been taken from it if anything

Pictures and shat.

This is how I start with the heads. I don't really touch anything until it is this clean.

I didn't take many pictures of this because I was focused on getting the job done rather than attempting to be a photographer. lol Cleaning up flashing; this first example was of the worst I hadn't already touched.

Different location; note the not yet finished oil return.

The customer wanted the intake side gasket matched, polished and the intake divider knife edged. The polish in this photo was before roughing it back up.

Flashing cleaned up in the exhaust runners. This was before a mild polish.

This first picture is a different valve job I preformed on a head of my own. The second is of the above pictured customers head.

Wow that is some nice work. I have noticed the nasty casting on the oil return on all my heads.

Thank you! I believe all of the heads I have retain some sort of flashing in the return(s). Not one will leave my possession like that however.
