Ahhh you lucky guy! Im loving that black leather, what a great score. Please keep that gem in its current condition.

ahh ok that makes sense. I could see it also weakening the valve stem also. maybe even breakage from the increased movement?

Try doing what Supracorwin said and jumping the pins to run the fuel pump without having the car running. This is very simple and easy troubleshooting! You will hear fuel riculating when the pins are jumped if everything is working correctly. The next time your car wont start jump the pins, if...

Ive seen other port work where people have actually cut the guide itself down to almost nothing... These are also n/a builds for major hp goals. What sort of damage would weakening the vavle guide cause?

thanks man :icon_bigg My next step on the head is to radius the sharp edges on the exhaust ports then do some more clean up around the vavle seat area. Im probly going to end up replaceing all the exhaust vavles and recutting the seats. I had the head pressure tested and it passed but I dont...

Yess sir I did some reading up on port work of the 7m before I began :biglaugh: Mostly on just not too do port matching on the exhaust side. I smoothed out alot of the short turn radius's on both intake and exhaust. I was rather suprised how much work I could do around the guide. Is that what...

Thanks for the info, next step im going to do more work on exhaust side. I really dont want this to fail any time soon. Wasted effort is not fun..

haha will do ian lol. That really does make sense, since when Im doing cuts in aluminum sheets any sharp edges are drilled to stop them from cracking.

My boss was telling me that it shoudl be radiused also lol. Does a round edge have better flow characteristics then a sharp edge IJ?

Oh and one more pic I have of a view from the bottom of the head.

My basic goal was on this port job was to make the head more free flowing but still retain as much of the stock port overall width as I could to prevent increased lag. Intake side was made slightly larger and made MUCH more free flowing (comparing to stock) then retextured with 60 grit paper...

I made some more progress last weekend and this week. Heater core is now replaced and ready to rock and roll. :biglaugh: Did some cylinder head porting also, turned out rather nicely. Valves all removed from the head. Heres some pics of the ports in stock form. I had troubles taking...

I found the stalling with a vented bov very annoying. The ECU did eventually figure it out somewhat, but it still did occure. mostly at times when in heavy traffic, moving slowly like jdub said. Now that was VERY annoying lol. I just put the stock recirc back on because of it. just my .02

Thanks for the comments guys :biglaugh: I made some more progress yesterday, im just uploading new pics right now. Going to continue on today prepping for paint of the battery area. Also going to repaint all the cleaned brackets, maybe even pull the dash today if I'm feeling up to it. Need to...

Update - Cleaning engine bay and prepping for paint today, will post pictures of progress later today.

The color isnt my favorite either, it does grow on you i guess haha. She has about 120,000 miles on the chassis and I picked up a set of 17" core racing 5 spoke rims not too long ago. just need to get some different size rubber for them.
