hey guys lay some knowledge on me!
(history)
i bought a 91 gsx with bent exhaust valves... timing belt slip.
Bought a new motor with some block issues. The plan is to swap heads and refurbish long block seals, rings, bearings,studs,mls gasket..the works
#1(pic) the dish in the valves of the original broken head differ from one another.
i would assume that they were replacement valves from past head work. my new donor head also has miss match valve face dishes and 6T stamped on some of them. any ideas? could it be making up for combustion chamber volume differences?
#2 since i'm balls deep in this motor i want to upgrade as much as i can as cheap as i can.
i have a full extra set of intake valves and the thought crossed my mind of hogging out my exhaust valves and replacing them with stock intake valves. i haven't pulled my good head apart so i don't know if the intake and exhaust valves are the same length. i tried to see if it was done before couldn't find any useful info.
let me know!
