A couple reasons why I hate doing port work after others

Well I started tubing the second head today and this must have been the second head the guy ported as he stopped short of having to tube the heads. The pinch varies from .990-1.025 so now I can just do my thing and tube them instead of replacing his tubes. My son Matt is bringing the valves this weekend when he comes to visit over Christmas. Pretty sure he’s bring new Pac springs and retainers too. Vic has lots of connections in the racing community so I guess we are going to be trying a smaller diameter, lighter weight spring. Not sure how much visiting and bs’ing Matt and I will be doing on his week home but I may have some flow numbers next week from the first head. This head should be ported and ready for a valve job too. I’m finding out if I come down to the shop more often I can actually turn out some work. I may end up with time this winter to finish my set of heads and get my hands dirty on my 8 sets of LS heads sitting here. Ohhhh he went through the exhaust port into the header bolt holes again. I may try to mark them and try to talk Vic into running studs in at least those holes.
