Head work?
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-Oct-01 AT 00:10 AM (EST)[/font][p]Well...I've decided to have my heads taken to a shop and have a 3 angle valve job done on them and have the heads ported and polished while they're off. I'd rather wait till I get the 460 and spend the money on that but it sure won't hurt this motor either. Only thing is the shop I talked to doesn't do porting and polishing. Just the valve job. If I were to get it done separately which would I have to have done first? The head work or the valve job? That and cost; any rounded figures? Common sense tells me the head work then the valves but.....just wanted another opinion.

Please don't pull out in front of me! The last thing I want to do is play identify the pieces with you or your car.

I wouldn't get too carried away with the porting. A nice gasket match and bowl cleanup does a lot.
