906 valve job

906 valve job - 04/23/14 10:26 PM

Hey guys, I have a set of 906 heads and 2.14/1.81 valves. They are at the machine shop but I am going back and forth with the shop owner about the valve job. I want a steep 75 degree throat cut on the intake but he is scared to cut them because of the bulge in the bowl for rocker oiling. He is afraid a 75 degree cut down from the valve seat will break through. Anything special to watch for or advice on what I should tell the machinist. He is a chevy guy and I'm getting aggravated.

A 75 degree bottom cut is completely normal with 2.14 intake valves in a 906/915, right? I'm not just momentarily losing my mind?

I have no real idea my friend, hope others more educated than I chime in here.

Until then here's a set of 915's I won't take any farther for you to eyeball

Thanks roadhazard. Those ports look great! That's where I'm hoping to be soon if I can ever get the machine work done. What you have removed in porting is well beyond the 75 degree cut I want done.

Here is a shot of my 906's I did for my old 440. I had used a 70 degree stone and then I worked and blended the bowl area. Ron

Thanks Ron. I knew I wasn't crazy. At least not about this

No problem as I am glad to help. I did forget to say they are 2.14 and 1.81 valves I put in them. Ron

If he don't believe you just have him look at the picture, Lol

Thanks for the compliments guys! It was the first set of heads I've ported and seem to perform as well as they look

Heading to the shop later today to talk to the machinist and show these pics if necessary. Thanks again everyone.

Do yourself a HUGE favor: Take them to a guy that KNOWS 906 heads.

I'd seek out someone who does (good running) stock and S/S heads.

The short turn is very important in a 906. Adding big valves makes the problem worse. The short turn needs to be lowered considerably when you are done

Thanks for the advice guys. I would have taken them to a better shop, but I don't know anyone locally who deals a lot with mopars I am familiar with making a nice rounded off radius from the bottom cut bellow the valve seat to the floor. I've done that on few sets I ported in the past but I've never lowered the floor there very much. How far into the short turn do you extend the radius to lower floor? I have always been leery of breaking through so I don't go back very far.
Do you guys suggest more of a round radius, consistent in shape from floor to valve job, or a radius that tapers off slower and longer as it approaches the floor? I may need to draw a picture to make sense of what I'm saying... Thanks guys!

I was taught to also make the walls at the floor right at the short turn a little wider to slow up the air to make the turn.. But not sure if that's correct nowadays

Any chance of you folks posting some more pictures . Looking for pix of the radius into the port floor. I'm porting a set of 452 heads and I could use all the info your willing to share. Thanks.
