begining the rebuild

Speedstang302 · December 12th, 2008, 03:26 PM

look into the trick flow valve spring upgrade for the cast iron heads..they are like $133.95..and supposed to handle the lift of anything upto .542" lift..like the tfs stage II...and something like .600" lift for the twisted wedges...plus comes with the retainers, keepers, shims etc...

yeah that setup probably would benifit from a 65mm tb over the 70mm..try and find someone to trade you..alot of people look to go up sizes...not down..shouldnt be too hard

93hatch · December 12th, 2008, 03:47 PM

mail me the 70 and mail you my 65mm

Speedstang302 · December 12th, 2008, 04:48 PM

see...took twenty minutes and you didnt even have to do anything

foxbdy88 · December 27th, 2008, 02:41 PM

So i got my heads Xmas eve, and the casting #'s are F3ZE AA and off an explorer. What is the combustion chamber size of these heads.

How much would i need to have these milled to get them to give me a 9.5:1 compression ratio.

what else could i use on this set up, I also will be be porting out the exhuast runners for better flow.

be real careful and if it doesnt take you at least an hour on each port your not doing it right. get an old header gasket and spray paint dont go any bigger then the outline and be carefun on the lip cause the water ports arnt that deep down on that heads.. i have ported a set of gt40's and steel heads suck ballz to port.

IMO it's not worth porting the exhaust side, especially on heads that are so limited in terms of intake flow. Spend the time instead blending the short side radius on the intake and smoothing out the pockets.

What bits did you use to do your porting?

JBIGBOOTSY · December 28th, 2008, 07:32 PM

Carbides. Sanding rolls, and cross buffs from Standard Abrasives.

e3sean · December 28th, 2008, 08:22 PM

Yea, I went through a few bits. Stones dont work at all. It takes a while to make progress.
