who did your machine work

 

[95weclipse]

a guy in Peru IL the place is called jimmies engine rebuilding

Those valve seats look like shit to be honest. The deck surface doesnt look that good either. Just being honest.

 

[bomper04]

Yea, the surface of your head looks like someone took a rolock wheel and just polished it..I'm curious as to what machine he used to resurface your head..

 

[95weclipse]

i didnt have the head surfaced i just rolock wheeled it i am useing an oem gasket so itll seal fine i am not worried about it
why does my valve seat look like shit?

i lapped the shit outa them and poured rubbing alcohol in the runner and it didnt leak one bit stayed dry for over an hour and half so that tells me its a good seal

 

[VETTE_50_TH]

Jimmie should have done your valve job.

 

[95weclipse]

you still havent explained why?

 

[VETTE_50_TH]

Great if it works. But it looks like shit. Guess thats the mentality of a dsmer. But the reason they have 3, 5 and radius valve jobs is to get rid of the jaggedness of the valve seat. Yours is the epitome of jaggedness. Not trying to be mean but its the way it is.

 

[95weclipse]

well if you would read my other posts or the end of this one i need to get this car done asap and i cant afford much more right now i have NO JOB what so ever and i have no money so

and the whole reason for 3 and 5 angle valve jobs is to make as few bends as possible and make it round as possible for air to go in easier and which is for a racing engine when you get into flow benching and what not i am running just a street car to get me back and fourth to work when i get a job and when i get a job iam looking into a gsx to build

get a beater a cheap to drive to and from work, if you half ass it just to get it on the road faster it could lead to problems later, just do it right bro hope all turns out the best for you

 

[95weclipse]

Well I shouldn't have any problems I don't see why I would I haven't had problems with my head jobs before so I don't see why this would be any different and the whole reason behind getting it together is because I cant afford another car

 

[Dsm4lyfe12]

Keep up the good work I thought that i would be positive since everyone is being a jerk.

Read his posts, HE HAS NO MONEY, OR JOB..

I agree it looks like someone took an angle grinder to your head: although i know what it's like to be down and out, but when thats the case, building a stock reliable car seems to be a better idea.

 

[95weclipse]

that exactly what i am going for here and yes thats all I did with the head i just used a angle grinder with a scotch pad i didnt need to get it surfaced

 

[project98dsm]

Good work man, keep up the build! Don't worry about your valve seats and the stuff everyone else is mentioning. For what you're wanting, you're on the right track. Also, you should be pleased with yourself that you're doing the majority or the work yourself and not sending it off to a shop to have the simplest things done like some people do. But just a heads up, be sure you use proper punctuation when and all. You're main post didn't have a single period in it, and was one looooong run on sentence . Great job though man!

Nice job man and sorry to hear you live around the Peru area. Haha there isn't nothing but cow farts out that way! Keep up the build and good luck.
