head job anyone ?

[Guest]

This looks like it should be left to the pros this is probably not something you would not want to do to a stock head but if some thing happens to a tricked out head you know it is a option

NOS motor 13.5.1 comp and fuel pump error BANG that is all she wrote

Ah the wonders of aluminum engine components! You sure can't do that amount of repair on a cast iron head. Please send us an after repair shot when available so we can admire the craftsmen's work.

Couple of valve seat, guides and valves cooked with a Serdi by a good machiniest and she be brand new. The person i work for on fridays does thenm all the time. Especially late model dirt bike stuff. (Honda CRF comes to mind) Hopefully ill post a picture a pro stock head he has worked on with exhaust valves bigger than standard inlet valves.

This is what $3750 gets you from Ward. pictures are off the web site

Thats with a clean unaltered core

Nice port work. Notice the valve guides have been blended in to help the flow

wow, that is nuts.

Head meets liquified piston.

By the way, no thanks on the offer.

[cyclefvr2]

wouldnt it be cheaper to buy a new head, or used, no offence to anyone
the work looks very nice btw

[TheCafeKid]

It's a "before and after shot". "You did" is where you screwed up and liquified your piston, valves and bed. "We did" is where they fill it all in with new metal (or as the Brit rockers call it : Meh-ohl *devil horns*) and "You Get" is where it's all better and pretty and good as new

Whats the go with the step where the valve guide is shorter than the ex ports. Bit rough but i can be corrected. Not a good "blend" job

[madjack57754]

Actually a very nice blend job. Done with a cnc mill. No hand work. If you want hand work be prepared for longer waits, and bunches of more money. Rick Ward learned his trade from Byron. Now Ward Performance does VHR's heads for all their lease engines and for the P/S V-Rods. You can argue the point, but to me his heads are the best out there.
