Anyone know where I can get this done for a decent price?

So far I've seen from $800 to $1200 just to port the damn things. Thats F*CKIN rediculous!

I dont mind sending them places either. But IF you happen to know of anyone in the Kansas City area that would help more.

 

we do a full stage 1(what most call a stage 2) for $1495.00(no core) or for $1245.00 using your heads, plus shipping.
Stage 1 includes
hot tanked and pressure tested
stage 1 ported(hand finished)
2.02 intake valves
1.57 exhaust valves
dual springs
ti retainers
hardened spring seats
bronze guides
3 angle valve job
milled
flowed with flow sheet


just to port them( no valve job or anything else) on a stage 1 level is $500.00 plus shipping.

 

What kind of gains am I look at for the $500?

 

just a stage 1 port on a stock cammed motor maybe 20-25rwhp

 

Can you tell me how much shipping is to you from 65336?

The heads are bare except the parts that the valves goes through and the springs sit on. (Just got done cleaning em too)

 

I hope you numbered those valves if you were planning to put them back.

 

We are in the Louisville, KY area so I would say about $25-30 insured to ship them to us, about the same back.

 

Putting in new valves.

 

Hey Demon SS: What do you think this will do? Can I delay fixing this and still drive my car ok? I want you guys to port my heads, but I went with a cam first, and now I am broke til the 15th of July

What caused that? The valve head? do you have any other pics? must have been a serious over rev!

As long as the seats are not nicked or too badly damaged you can probably get a way with a valve job, which if you are installing new valves you should do anyway.

I would like to see some more pics though if you have any.

 

Heres some more pics of the heads.

Renting a CNC machine costs money. Spending 40+ hours on a set of heads, is worth money.

Cheap port jobs, are just cheap. JMO

 

from the pics the seats look ok, but again I am just looking at pics so it is difficult to say for sure. a ding/gash in the port won't hurt your performance in a noticable manner on a stock/mostly stock setup. if you were running high compression it would be a different story(possibly) as fuel atomization could be affected.

you mentioned installing new valves so again I would suggest a valve job at least, so the valves match the seats.
