    Another 1st time port job thread

    Yeah, so far I have only opened the port windows to match the gaskets. I have a LD4B and it was almost a perfect fit to the gasket before several minutes with a fine stone to fix the slight core shift. I only figured on working the roof of the exhaust ports and maybe the short side turn and...

    Another 1st time port job thread

    I wasn't sure about removing the valve cover bolt bosses. I just ordered longer carbides so I will do that. I already got a set of ARP valve cover studs, so I won't have to worry about that part.

    Valve guide question

    I recently bought a set of 920 heads for my 273. I have notice there to be more play with the valves in the guides then I feel comfortable with. I noticed some of the guides has rings in them, I assume knurling? I plan on doing gasket matching and some other work on the ports and bowls myself...

    The heads are off, swap them or not..

    I am swapping in a set 920s myself on my 273. Just got them and boy are the ports going to need a gasket match to match my intake.
