I am going boost, with full ems standalone down the road when the engine goes into the car..... well here are some pics of the cylinder head and how far i have gotten so far. I would have it fully dissasmbled and started the porting on it but i am still trying to get ahold of a valve spring compressor...This motor is gonna take me a little while to do because i am a strudent but wont be to long... hope to have something for it every pay check weither it be rods,pistons, bearings, gaskets, etc. i plan on having pics up after i install something new Thumbnail Image Thumbnail Image Thumbnail Image Attachment (3) < Message edited by riceburner700 -- 6/26/2008 3:02:48 PM > _____________________________ non-vtec ALL THE WAY cylinder head guru!

The second pic i didnt acid dip the valve cover, it originaly had no paint on it so i just used wheel acid on the top with a scrub brush to get the big stains out and then i renced that off with running water then took a sos pad to it and got into all the little cracks..I then sprayed off everything with compressed air and then let it dry what water was still on the valve cover. I got my engine temp paint at checker for like $5 or something close to that. I got the color "cast coat iron" by krylon. Looks a little bit like a mugen color but a little let brown. I wanted something different that i havent seen so this is why i went with this color. As for the silver "honda" letters on the top i just took a flat file and carefully stratched off the paint until the letters were all visible in shiny aluminum, just make sure you keep the file level and dont let it hit the actual valve cover or else it will scratch the paint... more updates soon < Message edited by riceburner700 -- 8/30/2006 9:13:11 AM > _____________________________ non-vtec ALL THE WAY cylinder head guru!
