Its a damn shame they ruined it by making it unleaded, nobody in there right mind converts their head to unleaded, just use Flashlube or whatever brand and everything lives longer and so does your money.

Nice valves, but you'd think for that kind of money they could have put a little work into the valve guides.. they look like standard items pressed into place.

I don't like that sharp divider between the two intakes.That shape is so old school.
That section should be rounded for best flow!

I'v never attacked a head yet but I like my bling :lol:
but seeling that pic and being picky and considering the idea of flow, the right side would be great but the left would suffer due to as the shoulder on the Valve guides on the left is shallow up the top and also on the bottom, but in saying that it looks deeper on the guides centre on the on the left.

deoes the right guide also look abit higher to you also :shock:
