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.





Oil port mod.





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.





*Note seating mark/line; exhaust side.*




Thanks for looking!

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.

Yes sir! I cannot wait for our blocks semester! That is when some fun will begin. This is not to say that "heads class" isn't exciting; when the bottom ends get put together however, is when the fun really starts!

We might just have to make that happen. I believe you have my number from when I was contacting you off of 'Tuners about transmissions. We'll figure something out.

[DSMINMN]

Thought I'd update this some.






















I do not have any pictures of the bottom after the resurface but I could easily take a few if anyone is curious.

Thanks!

Turned out great man! To anyone considering getting a head done, have this guy do it. Great guy kept me informed on things throughout the job. Thanks again Chayce!

[dogwhistle]

Do you do 4G64 heads as well?

Not a problem Jeremy! Anything else I can help with hit me up! Thanks for the kind words too man; I appreciate it!

I will do damn near any head. I may even have to dabble in V8 cast iron stuff.



For anyone looking at the turnaround time of Jeremy's head; I had well into 12 hours of porting, polishing and cleaning the flashing up. Plus running into a few kinks with valves needing to be replaced, waiting on parts as well as taps.


Next up; a set of 6g72 heads!
