Keep this updated on where you go, I'm going to need some headwork done in the near future as well.

Thanks for all the info GoFer, I'm gonna try to scam outta work early one day this week and drop off my experimental head at either Advance or Hopsing.

I'll up this thread with pics right now...

Here is my spare motor that i picked up just for smog.



Started teardown of the motor and found this...


Bought an engine stand


Even more teardown pics...









Went crazy and bought a valve spring compressor from Craftsman ($20) and went to town on the valves.




Bought a spare head from Crazed here on SDREV, didn't like the valve cover paint job so i did this...




Painted my original valve cover from the spare motor...

I kind of like the "blank" valve cover, very different.

I just got everything back from the machine shop (Advanced Machine) and I'll post up pics tomorrow. Everything looks pretty good so far, I'll give you the details in the morning.
