F.A.S.T 906 head challenge

[tan top]

Anybody who has ported heads can appreciate all that is involved. Especially old cast iron stuff....talk about labor intensive not to mention nerve wracking ! Who hasn't hit water on a core shifted casting ? 

I remember years ago doing a bowl blend on a machine shop fresh set of 452's and everything was going well until i kissed a seat with the burr.  Back to the machine shop they went ! 

Hats Off to all the guys who undertake this type of work professionally....it really is a labor of love and not all that lucrative.

thats soo true   ,  i even want as far as having  four  die grinders &  one dremmel with different carbide burr bits  , stones & paper rolls , on the go  , got sick of changing them
  lifes too short  , to do them your self IMO
  done a good few sets  , also spent 2 weeks  ( week each head ) (after work  & weekends ) on  my own 906 heads ,   also same on my 452s

True Professional Head porters... You have to give big praise to these guys who do this stuff, day in day out, it's loud, dirty, messy work & especially when they do them correctly, no just hogging them out blindly, like so many people do, guys like Jim/HeyOldGuy are true artists, when it come to cylinder heads & making the most out of them.... As a person who has done probably 100 cylinder heads, over the years, I can respect the level of the heads Jim/HeyOldGuy turns out... Thanks Jim

One part science, one part dark art, and one part voodoo with all of it a closely guarded secret.  You are so right, the true pro's deserve real credit for the work they can do.
