Heads came in yesterday, a few pics Well, it took 5.5 weeks for them to come in, but I'm happy with the outcome so far (#s to come). Precision Porting stg 3, with thermal coating to cumbustion chambers & valves. PRC Gold dual valve spring kit. Here are a few pictures.

NOSjohn, I wish it was a FAST, but the box has a LS6 intake in it. I bought it used, so thats what I picked it up in.

I can't remember are those 241 (LS1) or 243 (LS6) heads? The flow numbers look like LS1. Yours are slightly better than mine but not by too much...happen to know your runner size?
Have car will travel...you're not too far. Let me know when you plan on doing it and I'll see if I'm available. The tear-down is pretty simple but requires some grunt work and cleaning out the block which is time consuming (and very important). I'm guessing you're going with stock gaskets so you don't really have to measure PTD height to set quench, and if that's the case your PTV clearance should be fine...so mostly you'll just be bolting everything back up without too much complication. Anyway, let me know.

It looks like the "mixture motion dam" or "swirl dam" has been removed, that makes the port VERY close to the water jacket, was that area welded? If not were they pressue checked? Just curious.
