Can't beat the look of those bare aluminum heads.

Intake is now too thick at the front and rear. 50 K will need to be shaved off to make the fit. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

That news isn't all that bad...sounds like the heads/block have had material removed, which should bump the compression up closer to it's as advertised number and help performance. Cool!

View from the other side. Job is literally a hand fit due to the head work that was completed previously. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]
