opel2000 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Blimey HUW You have the first GTE water elbow/thermostat housing i've seen that is not actually corroded to fcuk. I'm assuming head has been rebuilt? but if still bare (nothing re-fitted) I'd recommend smoothing down the inlet ports to a 180 grit finish and a serious smoothing out of the exhaust ports, if tools and capability are there of course, this does reap a good few horses on these engines but is slow laborious work due to the nature of the material the heads are made from. Wonderful to see such a pic heavy topic as this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opel2000 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Woo Hoo, that is looking as though it is shaping up well. Arches look cool, a fair bit of time and filler gone into shaping them I bet Always fancied doing somethging like that myself, but my filling is and always has been crap, would have took me about 8 months just to do one arch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
