Couldn't think of much else to do. We found out you
can't even do a real valve job for a 2.02 valve without
integrity problems (leak..) and all in all the castings were
a lesson in trying not to get to close to water. Some
stock castings are easy to port, but not these! I
would definitley recommend having someone port
the castings who has done them before!
Craig (GTP) ended cutting apart a stock to find out
exactly where the water passages were, etc.
Of course NOW there's a nice aluminum casting
available, after I invested all of this money in the
iron badboy's. Oh well :)

| By your description, it also sounds like you had a more thorough job though.
