These heads are normally absolutely disgusting when you first get them! To the point my initial attack normally involves the pressure washer straight to the ports!
Good to see another 16v build going on, lost count of them all now!

Haha...tizz exactly what i did :
Those inlets were horrid! Flipping egr
See post #26 for the head being blasted
Best get on with this really... Just lack of time.
But got in the shed and took the sheet off it the block.
Honed the bores lightly, didnt need much. Also cleaned the deck and all the flange faces and put a thread die through all the threads. Washed down with cleaner.
Need to clean the headbolt threads out and then can start reassembly finally... Maybe it will get moving then
Come on man. Taking ages. At least mone is making good progress. Oh wait its still sitting where it was 3 months ago lol

Crank may go in tomorrow. Valves need lapping...16 of them...keep putting it off
Gotta get it done. Need 16v done... So can do Kev...
sod lapping, off to a machine shop and get them done properly
drill and fuel pipe makes it much easier

Thats not a bad call...I usually use a drill tbh but no access in on these heads... But bit of rubber hose...
You genius.
Newsflash:
'valves getting lapped tomorrow'
recently did a hdi head this way luckily it was missing 8 valves ha
Also need to fashion an adaptor for my valve spring compressor as the access is no good on this head for my tool and the springs are 25lb heavier too
not lazy at all, 3 angle seats and valves done to suit, far more accurate and it opened the throats up.

Nearest machine shop is a 40min drive away. So once dropped off and returned, getting close to 1.5hrs.
I'd have to do that again to get it back.
And do both trips in working hours.
And pay the stupidly extortionate bill
By which time i could have lapped the valves and rebuilt/fitted the head!
that work cost £40 for the valves, £56 for the seats.
its an hour from me each way.
lapping wont give you the same results.
The results I want is lapped valve seats... So yes, I'll get the result i want with doing it myself
Got a pillar drill?
Could make something like this up then.

Its had a bigger meaning to me than perhaps some realise. After some personal downturns recently...I've not been motivated tbh or just too in pain/exhausted.
So this is so gooooood :-)

Good to see progress, I hope the personal issue isn't anything too serious, you know I'm only down the road for beer/man hugs.
Getting Piggypower on national TV was a awesome pickmeup dood... Thanks
Indeed. Much winning boom.
16v pistons, cleaned. New rings. Win rods. Arp bolts. Bearings. Ready to be inserted.
You could say things are getting pretty serious ??

They never get serious...
Just expensive and a little crazier
Things getting sweeter.... Progress is good if a little slow...
