well, I think I'm going to treat this like a stock install. after all, its suppose to be close to stock, and put it dot to dot. then, bust out the degree wheel and go from there. if I get it running and it sucks, i'll change to something else. this is at home hot rodding. if it doesn't work, try something else. thanks guys. I've learned a lot.

got the heads back. the old machine shop screwed up the valve seats.  valve height was all over the place. that has been corrected. the plunge cut looks good. now I have to blend it all in and then install valve springs.  happy new year.

I called Bob after reading this. (About his cams) I'm really interested in how it works out for you.

sent you a pm to ask you to help me get the pics on here from an email. or, anyone else? help?

sent in to speedway and got their head porting kit. it worked ok. didn't take away any metal, but smoothed out the machine work to the ports. took them back yesterday along with the new valve springs.  now I wait.

What were the valve springs recommended for the Bob K cam? I didn't buy the springs with the cam and lifters when I bought it, for some odd reason. Are they a spring that I can only buy from Bob? I need to buy a set.

He's got 3 cams, I'd call him to find out.   He'd told me a Manley 22406.

geez. maybe I should just use the .040 head gasket.

If you measure the chambers, I doubt you'll look back and wish you had spent the time watching TV instead.  I got a precision glass buret without a valve and stand, you just hold your thumb over the end, at a student science experiment store by my house for like $10.  I used a CD and grease to cover the chamber and poured through the center hole.

How's the build coming along?

i kinda traded the whole works off for a 70 cuda.

Looks like they did a very nice job of the seats, good to see their are still good Shops out there

You know me, I'm a doubter.  Does that look like a knurled intake guide?  If so, you know that is a problem.  Does look like a liner in the exhaust.

I see what you see, especially after zooming in... will PROBABLY be ok on a stockish build. But how long will it last is the question......

Shat !
I missed that completely ? it does look like a knurled guide on the Intake ? (I ain't a fan of that either.)
For all the time it takes, why not just squirt a liner and hone it ? I didn't think anyone still had a guide "knurler" other than as museum pieces.
