Swapped out the bent valve that was in the s14 head for a good straight valve from the s13 head as I will be using the s14 head on this build. Also did notice that it looks like one of the water ports on the head which meets the block is either VERY VERY clogged or doesn't exist?

Oh, hello there valve seal!


Keepers, Retainers, spring, valve. This was the bent setup here.




Here is the bent valve compared to the good one it was replaced with.


Muuuuuuuch better fitment



LOL @ the bent valve


Picked up my block and head from the machine shop today (11/24/2015). Gotta say it looks pretty good ; can't wait to start putting it back together. I had the block bored & honed to .040 over (90mm) and had both the block (removed .007) and head (removed .013) resurfaced. In doing so I made sure to also have the timing cover decked/resurfaced with the block, and had the upper cam cover done with the head. All parts were also hot tanked! :mrgreen: I'll be sure to get some pictures for you before I begin the install process.



This part on the head scares me
