When I was 24 I was earning a whopping $15,900 a year, lol poor. If I had half the money you do at that age... I would have bought a house early on. But then I've always wanted a house. Now that I have a house and a kid, I'll never be able to do what you're doing to your car. :wtc...
You don't have a house??? Your dropping all that dough on a car that you'll sell, or part out someday and won't even come close to recovery what you put into it? :nono: But you have nice cars though... if that helps.
so we could just plop those in our stock bores? How would one go about measuring the size you need? About how much do one of those go for?
Edit: Oh, and that would allow 10mm of lift?
Ok, I found the numbers.

I'd still like to see some pics. Oh, and were those numbers with stock or oversized valves??
Can you post your flow numbers and pics of your CNC port job?? Why not send your flow numbers to regrind cam people and let them recommend a camshaft? That's what I plan to do with mine.
Does anybody have any info on shim under bucket mods?
:biglaugh: We'll see about that. You'll want more once you get used to it. Or when you buddy in his C5 barely edges you out, you'll want more power to beat him. It's all fun though.
Minimum I would take the head to the machine shop and have it checked for straightness. You could get it resurfaced and cleaned for around $90. Slap on that composite with ARP's and call it a day. My suggestion would be to tone that boost down and use the car as a daily driver until you can...
No. Broken ringlands on #1 piston. Missed third and over-revved bad. Car sputtered & died at the end of that pass. Started it back up and car continued to sputter. Found #1 cylinder to have around 15psi, wet test bumped it up to about 90psi. Tore it down and found this.
I just snapped these pics. I don't think those are just "aluminum deposits" from the head. I could be wrong, but I went to three different machine shops and they all told me to replace them.
I have to agree with most of the guys here.... save your pennies and buy a much better base. By the time you get around to getting it back to good you might as well have bought a nice one to begin with. Good luck and keep searching.
