that sounds like normal retail prices for full recon spec. was that from headtorque?
how come your not keen on your blacktop?
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
Yeah ive got a full adaptronic loom for 16v with quads and coil on plugs
got myself gze cas.
Just need to sort out this smallport head and put some 16v pistons in my blacktop block.
Just keen for a nice nippy 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.
