I was originally supposed to have the head back within a few days, but it ended up needing a good deal of welding to repair cracks and pitting, and a spring had to be ordered, so it was only finished on Friday. It almost looks like a new one , though a little pirating remains in the combustion chambers, and there are a couple of slightly ragged edges...
Final cost $250.
I am hoping the block will be ready to morrow, and I expect we will order the parts in the next couple of days..
The rocker arms and push rods look pretty good, so there is no need to replace them, except to replace them with lighter ones with rollers to increase the engine red line... It would be nice to get that engine from the stock 5500 RPM to 6000 RPM+ in second gear for Autocross.
I do love the Anodized Blue Titan Rocker Arms, but that seems like a lot of money for 8 little pieces of aluminum, and they may not be as durable steel.
