Upping Compression ratio -440

[Racer Brown]

Well I think I lucked out, we did the DIY cc'ing of the heads, and they came to a couple drips over 73cc for the chambers that were spot checked


should put me around a 8.5:1 with a .020 head gasket


at least it will favor the crappier gas!

Good job, Kev, I look back and I should have done that!

Question for the group, hardened seats are they only needed on the exhaust or both?

[ws27]

Both. You're in there, might as well do both. Intake wear at roughly 1/2 the rate of exhaust.

the machinist quoted me $40 per seat...I don't know if that sounds right

[67440Dodge]

yea.. it's about right. Last time I checked at getting it done on a set of 906's, it was $800 just to clean em and put hardened seats in. That didn't count any guide work needed...

[Piper]

He quoted 250 for the valve job which is good

the seats though...ouch!

Hey that's not too far from me. If you didn't have a set to work with these would be a decent deal.

I take it this guy owes you some cylinder head money?
