Nicely done.
1. Did you go with larger valves (they look stock)?
2. What cams will you run?
3. Would you say the head work cost is cheaper than the services offered in the US?
Thanks for the pics!

-valves are stock size ,can't see the point to go large in my case
-will run 813 from TP USA but seems like there is no real advantage over my stock early 790 cams
-cost around 460 US dollars
been quoted by different company here in UK twice this price

Thanks Grzegorz. That is an excellent price. I guess for us overseas, it's the cost of shipping that's going to hurt. I see you matched the intake manifolds also to the head. Good thinking.

The TPUSA 813 cams should net you approx. 1 - 2 HP more than the OEM 790 cams.

I still maintain you could have done just as good a job yourself with some wet and dry and one of those green sponge things people wash pots and pans with!

So what where the pros and cons to the head work was there a gain at all? I have a good local shop that might work with me and I am debating on HP pistons and cam or head work and cam..
