To be honest no I didn't ask... been waiting a long time for the heads to get the engine finished up. Didn't want to go through the shit of shipping them back off and waiting for who knows how long to get them back. For me it was easier just have the F*** ups fixed locally.

considering that the stainless steel valves are just a tad softer, than steel, do you install or provide steel lash caps on the valve stems.?. thanks for the information you have provided in this post, for all of us.

The SS valves we use have hardened tips.

We also only use Porsche 911 swivel foot valve adjusters in every application. This makes a huge difference.

every time I see HAM post it makes me think of HAMS beer comercial where the HAMS truck runs over teh Raineer beer motorcyclist

he's going thru the gears and it sounds out in motor cycle tones "raiiiiii-neeer-beeeer. then the truck comes around the corner and plows into him, he's plastered across teh front and teh truck horn toots...hams, hams!

Another vote for RIMCO. Just sent a set of dual port heads to them to be cut for 94s and they came back right away without a problem.

How much?

I think it was 80 bucks or something? Lot cheaper than anywhere around here.
