ok heres the deal, i smacked a valve(intake i believe) and am tearing my heads off and going to go completely thru them. i started working at a machine shop building all out race engines 2 months ago and am being trained to be the head specialist. i have worked on plenty of small blocks big blocks and even a couple hemi's but only several dohc sets of heads and since i am going to going thru my heads and doing a valve job anyway i have some ideas....
oh i am posting in this forum because i figure this is where most of the people who actually know about machine work hang out...if i'm out of place i can repost in duratec performance
i am wondering what i should consider doing.
oh by the way all labor is free so the only limits are actually buying parts
i am planning to do
1.standard 3angle 45degree valve job on the intake valves w/ 30 degree back cut
2. deshroud the valves and clean out my combustion chambers
3. deck the head as much as possible while maintaining clearance and streetable compression.
4. port match/ gasket match exhaust and intakeports
5. blend bowls and open up the port throats
6.polish exhaust ports
should i go ahead and install 3.0L valves since im already going to be on the seat and guide machine? how will this run on a stock SE 96 2.5?
i will be able to afford to add larger possibly 19lb injectors and purchase a chip to compensate for the increased air flow.
i'll prbbly add a 2.5" single exhaust and possibly retain a primary cat
i'm really looking for info becuz i have too many questions to be answered by the search function. i will start this project in roughly the next 2 weeks.
i know a great deal about engines and cars but just not about the contour and what i can get away w/
thanx in advance for any advice/info.
