Hey all,

I haven't posted here since hell...like my first post...under a different name...

Anyway, I've been here off and on for a long time and never owned a 240 until this last summer. I found a coupe and have been working on it since.
I've been very busy with it, and seems like I have spent a ton of money and it's still a P.O.S, but it's mine and I love it.

Lemme see, if I can find my original post...crap...Well...You were all very nice to me and liked the car I picked up, it was a Burgandy PigNose. Paid $800 for it.

Anyway, I'm writing now to pick brains on head porting, valve jobs, etc.
I'm set in my build so bear with me on what I have planned...I am building the KA24E, in an N/A configuration. She won't make huge numbers on my budget, but we all know how much fun this car is even on the tired and stock KA.

So, What experience, knowledge, advice do you all have with head work?

Also, if there is enough people, I may be able to set up some work for other KA heads thru this place... http://www.foxlakeracing.com

Don't let the stangs fool ya', these guys are good, REALLY know heads and have respect for all builders. The owner of Fox Lake, was one of the guys who started Trick Flow.

Head work is crucial to making good N/A power with a ka, especially sohc.

There is a lot of room for improvement, so take your head to them and have em go at it. If they do a good job, which it sounds like they will, you will notice quite an improvement over stock. Oversized valves help a lot too. And as with every rotating part in an engine, lighter is better.

Do you know of anyone who offers an adjustable or lightweight cam gear for the SOHC?
