When do you think yours will be ready for the permagrin???

You are first in Line Bobby but I will be honest. Unless im smacked in the rear end it isnt coming off. The PO said it was actually struted to the frame. I hope you heal up soon. When im in town Ive been driving Pops 96 CE LT4 powered. NLT than 1 OCT is the target

So if you back them out you will rip the thread out. And the screws were flush with the back of the rod so I could not just grind the swedged tip off and unscrew them without ruining the thread. That's why I had to tap them the next size up 8-32. I would think all the throttle plat screws would be the same. Unless of course some one had messed with them previously.
They are... which almost makes this impossible (right?) but its happened twice and they seperate right where the screw centers the rods (both times). The rods appear to break at their weakest point where is where the screw centers it. Its entirely possible they were over tightened at the factory and after 20 years or Heat cycles, Pressure, vibration whatever they failed. Believe me the Driver side head when it failed a year ago we all thought it was a fluke. Well im a believer. The secondary system is outta there. GC

Wow, Daryll... certainly not just a fluke, after having it happen twice on your motor. I'm glad my butterflies have flown away

I'd ask Pete about that D. He has probably forgot more than I know.

I raised this question a month or so ago and Mark Haibeck said there was very little benefit in porting the heads. Did I miss something?

Here is the link for full pocket porting. I think I need to get my car to Mark and see what is truly done to the engine.

FYI, "pocket" porting refers to porting just a small area of the head. Basically the area behind the valve.

The way I read Marc's reply was that there is little to be gained in this on the LT5, and that the real gain from headwork comes in porting the runners. In fact, in that post, he refers to it as the porting goldmine.

Yes All heads benefit from porting. The real question does the cost = the potential gain. Your mileage may vary. Mine are being done at a local shop very cheap due to my sons friendship with the owner.
