Hey again

Ok, i've decided to get my head worked

Ported and polished

Bigger valves.

I'll purchase new aftermarket camshafts and cam gears at the same time.

Why not. wats a good brand etc to look for? HKS?

Can anyone suggest where to get this done in melbourne eastern suburbs.

Close to ferntree gully if possible.

Also any idea on cost?

Thanks.

hks or tomei i guess are well known

are you sure you want it polished?

Well, im upgrading all the bolt on parts on my engine.

turbo, plenum etc etc.

Plus im replacing the timing belt and looking at camshafts and cam gears.

figured whilst its off, it'd be worth while.

Wat do u think?

My main goal was to make the head handle things hassle free.

Would this give me any power gains?

cheers

Not sure of places down south but a good port job will cost you $1000. They pretty much go up from there. Extreme jobs can sometimes set you back $3000 or more. You pretty much can't go wrong with HKS cams, and at $1200 for a pair, they are not too expensive. If you are going for bigger valves etc. I would suggest a larger lift cam like a step 2 or possibly a step 3 depending on your aim. Just make sure you upgrade to the appropriate springs when doing so.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
