Call this a teaser for my rebuild...

 

what are the specs on the head? who built it?

 

What the smart dude up there said...

 

It's just a cleaned + surfaced stock head with supertech springs + retainers.

Machinist is Mike at Malden Machine here in Mass.

 

Love the pics!

 

Very nice, is he the one all the DSM guys use?

 

What's up with the crap aftermarket valves?

 

hey how long did you have to wait for that bad boy?...it looks sick!

 

FOr what you have invested you could scoop up a nice set of ferrea valves for that head.. You have nice parts why not finish it off with good valves you can trust?? We have them for a STEAL of a price..

No. That would be Edgar's.

 

Nice pics that red looks sweet!

 

Nice pictures. The 80mm housing looks great.

 

They're original stock valves with 55k miles on them. Four (2 intake, 2 exhaust) were replaced because they were exposed to a blown piston and some good sized chunks worked their way out of the head and into the hotside.

3 weeks. I waited for ExtremePSI.com to get a shipment and got one fairly quickly. I find its much easier to go through a vendor that gets a regular shipment from FP than it is to wait 6+ weeks for your turn in line. I did the same thing with my Green.

Yea, it's annoying how the modding world is... every little improvement is just another couple hundred bucks, but before you know it, you've spent $5000 more than you really needed to. This was unexpected work because I had an engine failure so I'm being frugal.

 

The two intake valves that say "made in japan" are aftermarket, I've seen them crack in DSMs before.

 

I'll talk to the machinist about it. Thanks
