Unfortunately i cant find any good port pictures. only ones before it was sent away for porting. Ill have to get some when i pull the head off later in the year

agreed the lift has raised using poncams over standard but they tested at a much higher lift. About 0.350” column is probably closest at ~235cfm As for the question about seats I can’t answer it. It was done in 2012 and I can’t remember what we agreed on. Not sure if I have any close up photos that might reveal an answer. I’ll check soon

So I was initially aiming for 420-440rwhp with a hypergear SS2 on ported factory manifold, Poncams/gears. The guys doing the head recommended removing all quench areas and looking at the Det damage visible on them it made sense at the time. I spent probably 40 hours porting it myself but when I went to flow test they said I was too aggressive in some areas and not enough in others. So I bought another head and let them do it all. Never intended to go above 7200. It was more a learning project than going all out. I asked them to remove quench areas and $1000 worth of porting. Bought poncams, new valves, springs, lifters and external VCT feed in case I got a 30 block down the track. I traded in standard stem seals and guides for a discount on custom ones they made for me. Oil drains enlarged. So I guess I spent a bit over 5k on the head. When I said it’s never been 100% it’s because it’s had fuel dilution since initial tune. I’ve found multiple small issues which have improved the engine/response but the samples have never improved . I now have found compression on #3 changes regularly especially when cold. It has forged JE pistons/Hastings rings. I’m unsure if a ringland or ring got damaged on first tune, or something wasn’t set correctly? Leak down test was 9% all cylinders but maybe it seals better due to being stationary? I hope to remove pistons over winter and find something. I’ll upload head photos after lunch

Bitches be crazy [emoji12]

Can’t believe Ash didn’t chase em down!

Did you get everything back? Don’t forget the 10 laptops and flat screens on the back seat they took

Correct cyl2 was stock. I spent a fortune on the head but have never had the rest of the engine 100% right since building and it’s never been much of a priority to rectify. Can’t tell with results so far if it was worth the money getting it done. One day I’ll finish it off

Release the hounds!

Should have had your ice skates on. Did they take anything ?

Wise beyond your years

Still would have been less painful to have another kid.

Aren’t skylines allowed to use the emergency strip to pass everyone? Pretty sure you have to do a skid for the privilege

Plenty of my mates recovered within 48 hours. But a guy I work with suffered badly too.

I bought jocks that were 2 sizes too small and the surgeon told me they weren’t small enough and didn’t hold my waist tight enough . Bought small briefs that have worked well

Went to see surgeon on 7th day. He said I was just unlucky that I blew up but most of the pain was my fault for wearing loose underwear one day even if I only walked a short distance I wasn’t sore for the first 48 hours but then each day got worse.by day 7 I was in tears to walk. I was sore cos of cracked skin from excessive swelling but most of the pain came from a ligament between my hip and leg tearing from the weight hanging off it. It seems to be common to swell up but it’s usually pain free.

Getting done under local or general anaesthetic?

I had a vasectomy 14 days ago and I’ve only just started walking. I spent 13 day/ nights on the couch and couldn’t sleep in my bed and I’ve still got a purple grapefruit between my legs I also had a hernia removed but that caused almost no grief I can’t overstate the importance of tight underwear, and NSAIDs if you swell up. Im using Panadol rapid 3x during the day and Celebrex morning and night. I’m jealous of those who are fine 24-48hrs later. Good luck but next month might be worse

You win

Feet up for 2 weeks now Undecided about if I’ll work next week Not working July Sucks to be you

Can you use your tongue?

They can be opened up, but it’s a bit tricky. Need a soldering iron and a press to get the back off. theres probably a YouTube video if you want to try

Fkn hurt to go there On antibiotics and painkillers now. See how it goes
