After many,many,..., many moons of admiring the view perched from my jackstands, I'm finally getting around to doing something with my car.
I need to have the heads redone, and am pretty much stuck with shipping them somewhere. Where's the best place for a balance of price and quality. Thanks for the help. Ben |

QUOTE I love Len's heads as well, but I can even show a picture of the ones Jake had him do for my 2.4; Thats mainly due to the proprietary valvetrain they incorporate, especially the springs and retainers (retainers weigh LESS than 3 grams) that Len worked on like a maniac for our production engines.. Don't feel bad, at the runoffs we couldn't even pop the valve covers off the engines without Len going insane... every racer has the specific instructions that those springs and retainers are not to be seen by ANYONE! Len takes the stuff even more seriously than I do. |
