well, im getting these CNC295's ready to install on the motor, and touched up the valve job, back cut the exhaust valves(intake came back cut from Indy), and blended the exhaust seat into the bowl.
IMO, definately worth it.
as i had mentioned, i suspected the intake valve job was hanging off the inner edge of the valve....and after lapping in the valve this was confirmed.
there was only about a .015 wide contact area between the valve and the head, and it was running right off the inner edge of the valve.
the VJ as it comes from ICH doesnt have the valves seating against the head all the way out at the outer edge of the valve.
when i redo the seats, i move it all the way out there.
this did cost a couple of CFM at .100-.200, but the way the seats and valves interface now will stay fresh a lot longer than the way they came from ICH.
also, the new seat work paid off with some added flow in the high lifts.
the exhaust seat had a rather pronounced edge where the seat and bowl meet, and after recutting the seat i blended that all in.
so, here is how the PRH "prepped" version flows.
this is the same cylinder as the OOTB test for a true apples to apples comparison.
lift-----I/E
.100--74.6/55.1
.200-154.6/108.7
.300-223.1/158.4
.400-278.7/196.2
.450-299.6/211.9
.500-318.8/223.7
.550-333.1/231.5
.600-345.7/238.9
.650-346.6/245.9
.700-350.4/251.5
the heads are going on the motor today, and if all goes well i should have the motor on the dyno some time next week.
then Rudy can put it in his new A body Cuda and rip off some mid-12's
