Where would we be without great craftsmen? 1.8 heads with new 2.0 sized valves, 1.7 rockers and swivel adjusting screws for my soon to be 1911 cc fuel injected 75.
I love stickers!  Nice thick valve seat!  53 CC should give me 8:1  I hate it that I am going out of town for Turkey Day. I could be working!  |

That right plug hole in the last picture looks eaten a bit.
And why the SS exhaust valves? The sodium filled are still available and not so expensive/ |

QUOTE(Valy @ Nov 21 2011, 08:19 PM)  The sodium filled are still available and not so expensive/ They are after one fails and takes out the entire engine. Been there, done that and added the ten thousand dollars worth of broken parts to my trophy shelf. When a sodium filled valve fails, it doesn't break.. It explodes. Heads look great to be nearly 4 decades old.. Len does awesome work. Hell, they look a lot better than the heads that I normally see pics posted of here that have visible cracks in the combustion chambers as their owners brag about the work that was done... Want perfection? Start with a brand new casting, otherwise you are always going to have some compromise. Len made these look great and the right spark plug hole has been modified for a CHT sensor as Mark stated.. Without that, life is hell. This post has been edited by Jake Raby: Nov 21 2011, 10:07 PM |
