[Andrew Cooke]

you need to share it or something

[Sparkie]

without even seeing the pictures, it could possibly only be 2 things.....

1- you have a phase 1 head and a phase 2 head
- valve spring seats are different

2- you have a campus head and a gtt head - the campus head is missing the bottom 2 bolts for the manifold.....


???

[Charlie]

Good one Andrew, does anyone know why they are different.

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Looks like the top one (clean one) has the springs platform machined to take a higher lift cam and stop the valve springs binding up and bending pushrods?

The casting is different,don't look like it has been machined.

No problem, it might stretch a bit.:laugh:

[Charlie]

[Sparkie]

what are the actual depths of the heads though? from top to bottom?

Cilit bang also does the job ;)

I think I would give that a go first.:scratch:

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Although dishwasher is tried and tested and providing u do a hot cycle after will be no evidence ;)

Soda blasting does a nice job as does vapour blasting, neither will leave any media that will damage stuff either and the final result will leave ot looking like brand new!!!!

[Charlie]

yes I have heard soda blasting does a nice job, will try and source someone locally.
