How is TEA these days?
Why would you go screwing around with an already ported head? If you want something else sell those and start with another pair of castings.
I also don't get the idea of "hand finishing" a CNC part.........

Yea I was going to say I did not mean anything bad, I was just mentioning ownership/management has changed @ TEA. I have a fresh set of LS6 243's that were done when Mike was there getting ready to be bolted up this week.

Just wanted new valve job,springs and maybe some hand finishing. Been happy with heads no need to spend $2000 grand on heads for a couple of horsepower, I got 1300$ in these

I Emailed them asking what I get with their $175 Serdi valve job. Guy named Greg made it sound like a standard 30-45-60 , nothing fancy.
Maybe my credit card # would have got him to talk about options.
I read Cartek can do a full radius valve job for $280, I asked TSP but they only work on their own heads.
JaSSon, let us know what you find out. I wish we had a Valve Job thread.

Summit has owned TEA since 2004, and the quality of machine work is beyond reproach. With that said if you need simple machine work they can certainly do fine work, and they have the cutters that are specific to those heads, and it's not a 30-45-60, the intake is a 37-45-64, the exhaust is 37-45-radius. Don't ever use a radius valve job on intake. A radius valve job is standard for exhaust through TEA. I hope this helps.

Thanks! I think you'll be equally pleased with the service!
