    well ive got a blacktop here

    just not that keen on it.

    would rather keep 16v.


    but yeah i thought the prices i got for my 16 head recon where over the top.

    like 880 to do the head then 550 for the porting.

    WTF

    Well its still an option.

    Just leaning towards 16v as i prefer to keen it looking as standard as possible.

    Ive had a blacktop before in fwd.

    Top end is good. Just not much before that.

    im got a silvertop in mine and i reckon its better than my 4age at any part of the rev range. i do have my vvt coming on at 4k thru to 8k. its almost like a hardcore version of my big port.

    but as far as standard looks you cant go past 16v even though mine is clean and neat its still no 16v

    old thread, but i had my head fully reconditioned, ie cleaned, machined, new seals, valves and seats re ground, new hi perf springs supplied and fitted, tappets set for 700 from AK cylinder heads in kelmscott. he has done some work before for me on a damaged head off an 8 sec VL and his work is second to none.
