DIY porting and valve reseating

[zimm]

I modified Nick Graveley's NC35 heads a good while back.He gained an extra 3bhp from it if my memory serves me correctly.

how "modified" were they ?

I als got my hands dirty yesterday. A 600 head i'm using as a test piece:

[











Still needs some work, but ran outta dremel thingy's. The intake ports looked good, so don't think tha't i'll be porting those. Still need to re-lap te valves.
The head has been skimmed. 0.25mm been removes.

Problem is that by the time this engine has been put together so much will have been changed that i can't say how much difference the porting made.

was that just porting and reseating darren or did you skim the heads etc ? was it a hrad enough job or is it best left to the professionals

[royster81]

to be honest guys i'm starting to whimp out of doing the porting myself and am considering sending them out to someone to do professionally,the vavle reseating i can do and have done but the porting ....na to much to fcuk up and i want the best for the heads and i don't think i could deliver that in my shed with a borrowed dremel.....

What does it cost overthere?

Here for a simpel "light" porting job will set up back about 700 euros, and for a complete job about 1200euros.
