Well-known member
how can i check to see if the heads been machined or ported iam pretty sure it hasent or hasent had a lot off it anyway.
also are there a few different aussie manifolds and heads as the manifold i got is a 74da which is last of the pre crossflow engine's for australia.
also whats the bit of copper wire in the middle of no3/4 ports ?
here's some pics

Stock CC is 58-60. Intake ports are a bad match from factory. The coil is a choke preheater and originally had two swaged tubes connected to the Stromberg WW carby.

Exhaust gasket face needs a skim; ports look stock as do valve sizes.
 
sweet so it dont look like its been skimed ether sweet.
yeah ill be getting the head done up soon
the machine shop owes me one.
worth getting the port divider?
how thin can you make those exhaust ports as the seem very small compared to the inlets which seem primed for some tripple's

Port divider's a WOFTAM by my way of reckoning. I'd suggest you get a new set of extractors and match the exhaust ports to be ¾mm inside their flange.

All that said and done, I'd strip it and pull all plugs out, hot tank and magnaflux. Then machine the exhaust port, clean and just phosphate the thing to death. Wrap it up and store. Then if you need to sell it, it;s a blank canvas - rather than them wanting an unmodified head and you having a worked one...
