Only you can decide if its worth it but oil sqirters are a really good idea if you drive it alot under boost, can make a big difference how aggressive you can be on the tune when the engine is warm.

kinetik is in westland? holy poop...
Do you mind if i ask how much you plan on spending at BPE? i read that they offer different stages of porting and such. It's something i kinda wish i did on my car.
Steve @ BPE Racing Heads said:Mike,
(add for valve un-shrouding - $85.00, $355.00 total)Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, we can help you with your heads, The cost would depend on how we receive the heads, what all you would want done and how you wish to receive the heads back. Most customers send us their heads "as removed" from the vehicle with all hardware (camshafts, rocker arms, adjusters, etc.) removed, other than valves & valve springs. We disassemble, clean, inspect the heads & parts, reface, tip & back cut the valves, do any desired porting, finish cut the seats, final clean and assemble (new valve seals required). Customers receive their heads back assembled, ready to re-install cams, other parts and ready to bolt on. Here are some sample costs (labor only, parts extra):
Stage I & Competition Valve Job Package - $765.00
(add for valve un-shrouding - $85.00, $850.00 total)
Stage II & Competition Valve Job Package - $945.00
(includes valve un-shrouding)
If you have the facilities to disassemble and clean the heads yourself and just want porting alone done to the heads (includes finished seats but no valve work) the cost on clean bare castings we receive would be:
Stage I Porting only - $270.00
Stage II Porting only - $450.00
(includes valve un-shrouding)
Thanks again.

That's not bad at all. If my motor ever asplodes I'll get me some of them, thanks.
argh... crap just seems to be draggggggggggggggggggging on.
Just an update. I decided to disassemble the heads myself (rather then paying $75 to have someone else do it, guaranteeing myself everything will be in order), which required some specialty tools. I have since ordered these and they should be arriving tomorrow. So hopefully this weekend I will get everything apart that I need to and then send them off for the port and polish work Monday....
Where did you get the valve spring compressor? I can't find one that will fit. I used a hammer and socket to take them apart. Figured I would take it to a shop to have them put back together. I havent called around to check on a price yet but wanted to compare the cost.
mike i think you officially have more money in tools for your build than i have in my whole swap. way to make me look bad!
