Re: LS1 CNC Heads
Do they come with the non bent valves? Where in wisconsin are you located? I'm in new berlin a suburb of milwaukee. I'm interested.
lmk,
Thanks,

Quote: I have a set of CNCed LS1 "Sleeper" heads that had less than a few hundred miles on them. Long story short I was running these and due to some defective PAC Springs I bent a valve. The end result was a split in the valve guide and the lump at the guide. I had this welded up just to be safe but in the mean time I bought a new set of heads.


the buyer will need the machine shop to redrill and press in a new guide. you will want this done when you install the valves since it means cutting the seat to match the guide.



below are the springs that caused the failure and pictures of the head for those interested










you have to look close to even see the crack but its there and the reason I had it welded. I Will post pictures of the now welded spot once I go back into the attic. I had some pictures but I just cant find them.




these are 241 castings that have no marking giving away they have been CNCed or any work was done

setup for 2.02 intake valves

this is the flow chart from when I purchased the heads


Int.
.200 - 140 cfm
.300 - 200 cfm
.400 - 247 cfm
.500 - 281 cfm
.600 - 290 cfm

Exh.
.200 - 110 cfm
.300 - 144 cfm
.400 - 180 cfm
.500 - 200 cfm
.600 - 220 cfm



Im looking for $200.00 or trades. I would rather do a local pick up since UPS likes to trash stuff

Re: LS1 CNC Heads
here is the welded picture. you only need to have the one guide installed and the seat (cut/reground) as the machine shop says this is needed when a guide is replaced to insure the seat is true to the guide. once this is done some simple touch up with the dremel to cut down the weld to match the rest of the ports

so to clarify

you will need the machine shop to

1- drill and install one replacement guide then you or machine shop grinds the weld down to match the other ports

2- grind the seat as you would for a valve job
3- since you would be installing new valves it would basically be number 2

4- springs to match the cam your using

I could ship but local pick up would get first dibs. Im not sure how we would trade with shipping though.

I'm not really after anything too specific but I guess for others who may want to know as well.. lsx parts come to mind short of making a wish list

honestly I forgot, it wasn't much it was harder to find a welder that was able to weld it and was willing to. I will ask them and let everyone know.

Re: LS1 CNC Heads
ok, what he said was I can figure on roughly $130.00 the guide bore probably will need to be reamed oversize for an over sized guide. fit the guide , recut the valve seat and blend the port back in
