I'm half way through rebuilding a V6 head...

All the stem seals I am removing, albeit high mileage, aren't showing any sign of wear whatsoever!

Found the manifold blows though - composite gaskets were used.....

Be better when it is finished.

When are you going to match up a 3.0 inlet divider?

I'm off to get a washing tray tomorrow (mine has gone) and I am going to clean the dismantled head, clean valves then commence the rebuild

I thought problematic stem seals were limited to a small batch in the 2.6 / 3.2 era?

And they will be heads 3 and 4 to do.

James ought to have a visit and I can show him how to port

I'm pretty sure in principle I'm ok on how to port - just not entirely sure on the tools people are using

That said, it would be good to pop up - you will probably want a hand lifting the heads onto the block, when the time comes...

(It can be done alone, but always easier with two...)

That would be 25-27 May roughly

Thanks for the offer

Head porting, you need a file, round about 8mm or so, a minidrill is usefull for taking out lumps the files can't reach.
