Graduating was a great time for me. Now I've got a fancy degree (Master of Architecture), time to work on my cars, surfing is getting me healthy and believe it or not i'm back down to my natural weight probably due to the reduction of gummy bear and beer intake.

But the old saying "graduated into unemployment" definitely applies to me. Well, not totally. I am doing freelance work for a few firms but its not 9-5 by any stretch.

So I'm going to be building type 4 cylinder heads on the weekends. Actually, I've already been doing it but not nearly this much.

Some of you may have seen the cnc work I did with don bolton at Bugpatch. If you haven't seen or heard of it I can say that it is the most accurate way of matching chambers there is. Don and I have worked on a few other projects as well, and I've been welding heads and mag cases for him in my spare time during school, along with just about every other procedure you can do to a head.

Welding - preheating and cooling
Seats - measuring holes cold and hot and calculating the proper interference.
Guides - checking holes for size and alignment, reaming and hand fitting new guides and valves.
Studs, decking, facing, cc'ing, matching.... and just about anything else you can think of.

Its not rocket science, and for a detail oriented guy like me its actually enjoyable to make things right again. I'm a fixer like everybody else here.

So i'm going to be posting my own heads that i've built for sale here in the classifieds. I built them all to varying degrees of finish and will describe completely all the work done to each pair. If anyone likes my work and wants heads done to order I'm open to that as well, but its not really my goal at this point. Just a heads up on what i'm doing and where I got all these heads from.

any questions let me know.
