Don't Buy Empi 044 Heads!
« on: August 18, 2005, 07:46:44 AM »
No GCVWS for me ]:(  I was trying to get my motor back together for the weekend but..... I was having the valves/ seats dressed up after doing all this porting, new guides, dual springs etc., and low and behold it turns out these 40X35.5 for some reason have 39mm intake seats crammed into them! They're sealing right on the inside edge of the valve. They appear to have enough meat to step up the seat to 40mm, still more hrs machine shop time, F*#%*n' around.
What kinda quality assurance is that? Now I really wish I knew what I do now then and would of bought something decent.
