Recomend me a machine shop for these
Bought these within the last few weeks. . . . looking to get them milled down and checked for cracks and the valve seats redone if needed. I dont think it is going to need vavles, hopefully not. But i have been thinking about getting them CNC'd. . . . . . but not sure where i can get it done
if that does not work i am going to do the porting, very basic just spray the special paint in and just grind it down maybe a few times to clean the ports up. But still get them checked and milled. Anyone have good epxeriences in NNJ with any local machine shops? How much do you guys predict it costing to get them checked and milled? And how much does it run for most CNC work the first picture is after a light cleaning with break cleaner http://s44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...109101910a.jpg http://s44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...103_175123.jpg http://s44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...103_175109.jpg http://s44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...103_175141.jpg |
I had mine sent out to TEA in Ohio and they did a great job with the CNC/milling work. Contact them for a custom quote on work...their prices arent that bad if you supply the heads and do the spring assembly yourself. Shipping was $30 and turn around was 10 business days from when I shipped them.

yeah i am doing everything myself except for the porting if i can get it CNC'd
|
wow how much did you pay ?
i dont want to do anything else but that after seeing it these should have the sodium filled vavles right ?i think i remember you saying that. Does it look like they need to be replaced i can take some better pictures if you want |
If the heads came off a z06 they should have sodium filled valves. If you opt for anything but TEA's stage 1 port program, you will have to buy their bigger valves. I cant tell you whether the valves need replaced by looking at them...best way to check would be a leakdown test.
PM'd you on price. |
i have no reason to believe they arent from a c5z. I know a few places around here i want to take them to and see if they are willing to take up the challenge and see how much experience they have with aluminum stuff first then lsx stuff.
|
even thoguh the cnc'ing is a little out of my price range hopefully i can still yield a good set up.
deff. good call on just the exhaust side for doing the p/p. . . by the way any good places to find injectors and places that either do p/p throttle bodies? |
I picked up a set of svo 30 lb/hr off tech classifieds for cheap and sent them to New Era Performance in NY to get cleaned and flowed. I went through ebay to get my TB ported and outside polished. I think it was 60 bucks plus core. Im pretty sure its the same guy on tech that does it.
|
yeah i have been thinking of going aftermarket with that anyway so i will see what i can find.
|
do they have a website. i cant google alot of crap right now at work for some reason

But i will deff. let you know since you are nice and close. and i want to bring the car there for tuning when it is all set in stone. You guys cant do the machining right ? jsut the porting ? |
Yes we use MCP competition engine for all are machine work. Hes one of the best in the LS world
