Remember that horrendous RS cylinder head I brought over to you? The valve seats were unbelievably corroded. Great results following the build, including your valuable assistance 👍🏻

@@graceenginedevelopments all's Good in the Hood. Very close to initial run's on the flathead v8. I'll keep you posted.

A real shame that someone should do such a crap job on such a special and rare head. Great to see you do it right and save it James, top job as ever. That Mk2 was automotive porn, what a car.

Enjoyed that video good to see you salvaged a rare cylinder head. Had some experience of these heads in a rally car and can be very reliable when put together correctly. cheaper than a BDA.Keep up the good work love watching your attention to detail.

Really enjoyed that one James. Brilliant job! For one moment I thought you were going to put up the numbers off the rollers at the end, but that's a bit of a trade secret with Neil 😜. BTW, being nagged by her good-self to get you to build that NA YB you've been storing (I dumped with you more like😂) for the last few years. That will give me the kick up the arse I need to finish the car!

Very nice work James. Whoever milled that head knew they were hitting the valves. This is very amateur to say the least. I would say what you were hitting in the head was Tungsten from the Tig torch where someone dipped the Tungsten in the weld. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Take care, Ed.

Great work James, a bit of a shame to see a head like that being butchered, top work yet again, it was good you got to set up the cam timing yourself also, that would give your customer some confidence in the job as a whole, the hp gain is what it’s all about, great work all round mate 👍👍👍🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
