My head was at the machine shop for almost a month... bad luck i guess. on the plus side i did get my head back.. long story short the guy i bought my valvetrain off of sent me b series springs and valves.. hes in new york so shipping took forever after he sent me the correct stuff. but finally got my stuff to the machine shop and got that head back here are some pics. im running supertech valvesprings ti retainers broze valve guides seals and running blueprint racing flat valves. head got a simple valve job pressure tested and resurface.

Damn uve got a lot of work into this project! cant wait to see more progress mann! sucks to see a si go down like that but its gonna be one kick @$$ track car once finished mann that work u had done is legit dude haha keep up the hard work and progress!

Welcome to the forum! Nice work!!! Keep it up.

wow crazy story, good luck with the build

thanks.

Nice. About time a K swap went down on this forum. I still can't justify the cost to power ratio of a K swap though. Polish some of those motor parts lol.

picked up my kswap for 2600 out of a wrecked 02 type s with 42,xxx miles on the cluster. its not expensive. i sold my b16 with light mods for 1600.

That cage is sick.

thanks.

I love those mirrors too btw...gonna look sick on the car when shes done ;) and btw u just gonna repaint her the same color that she was or getting it done in a diff color?
