its just getting reassembled, cleaned, checked, shimmed, and MINOR porting work done.
I'll dry to drop by tomorrow arvo or morning and get pics of the ports behind the valves, there is some ugly casting work just near the valves seat sleeves that just had to be removed.
Dominator in Guildford, SYD does a tops job - Terry is awesome. Price is right too Check out the sponsors page!

11111-88270
> 88253 88270s would be the heads of choice since these need very little
work from the factory these willl make lots of power with little porting
they will make a lot more power with a lot of porting the castings are a lot
thicker around the ports so there is a lot of room
the 88250s can be made good but the ex studs should be changed up to 10mm
ones for best sealing
all of these engines should have 8.5s to 1 but the efi 88270 heads they
should have 8.3 to 1
just be glad you dont have any of those 11111-88230 or 88210 heads they are
good paper weights
hope this helps your info of what you got there sounds like my garage
i think i have 15-18 heads right now
cary
