Think I got a leaking head gasket, so the heads are coming off. Since I am going to have them plained, I figure I might want to clean them up a bit myself. I have found some good reading material concerning this, but I just want to know if you guys think it is worth even messing with yourself.

Thanks,
James

 

a guy i know ported his Stock LT1 heads himself...he said it took about 12-15 hours by hand with a dremel tool...i dont remeber if that was for both or just one!
but that gives you an idea of home porting!

 

I know it takes time, but that isnt a big issue for me. I just want some cheap power, and I cant bare putting this thing back together stock.

well buy a cam, 1.6's, pushrods, springs, maybe some new lifters, and go for the home portingand be sure to get some smaller head gaskets!!!
