Just got my L92 heads in
Just got my L92 heads in Very impressed with the level of consistancy and quality in both the machine work and casting. The intake valve job is much nicer and has more potential than any of the other LSX heads thus far, same for the exhaust. It has a nice 4 angle instead of the generic 2 angle. Each valve guide is incrusted in less material and more cleanly done. I dont know how much CFM really will be gained by removal of the base material. Not as much as a 241/243 for sure. Bore width of the chamber looks to be right at 4.040/4.045. So you guys with as little as 4.020 bore should be fine. Need to check some tolerances and thicknesses, but expect some ported numbers within a couple of weeks.

would the L92 heads fit on LS2 block with stock valves with out valve interference with the block. what is the minimum bore size for the L92 heads to fit?
what is the valve's angle degree of the L92 heads? how about the pistons to valves interference with the stock valves? what is the maximum valve lift and duration before i enter the piston to valve clearance issue?
thanks.

Didnt get the valves in yet, I just order 2 intake and 2 exhaust. The gm sets are like $95 for the intake and $115 for the exhaust. However, I did measure the valve seat surface and the width I have is 2.145 intake and 1.585 exhaust. So for sure they are 2.16/1.60.

The short turn looks like this.
Man, those didnt turn out very well. I will get some better ones later when I get out in the shop with better light. Its just too damn hot right now. To answer your question, the turn is more laid back by probably 10* and doesnt have a drastic transition angle right before the seat like the LS6. It is also more balanced, meaning not lower on one side or the other. Looks sharp. Between the last few non LSX castings I have dealt with (All Pro, Dart, and the L92). I like it the best. So many characteristics of a real race inspired head.

What is your opinion on the exhaust port shape and size. A local head porter told me today that he would not touch the shape or opening size even though the flow #'s that have been reported are a little low.
He said it is one of the best exhaust ports he has ever seen in a production or out of the box aftermarket head. He really likes the short turn too.

I just put my set on my LS2 block (4.005" bore), I only have an exhaust valve in it but it has .038" clearance from the side of the cylinder wall.
The intake valve will probably be a little closer.

Well since the L76 is a 4.00 bore with L92 heads I'ld say the LS2 4.00 should be able to take the L92 head.
The question that should be asked is this.
Both the L92 and L76 have dish'd pistons and the LS2 has flat tops so will you need L76 pistons in the LS2 to keep from having a Piston to Valve issue. Or does the L76 have dish'd due to the Cam phaser???
