fe heads,

[tr1cky]

my car seems to be burnin oil, im hopin its the valve seals and not the piston rings.

im gonna take the head off my old 4efe and change the valve seals in that 1 then put it on my 5e so its just a straight swap to save messin about.

can anyone confirm that the heads are exactly the same?

also is there anything else i can do to the head while its off to improve performance?

someone said about a port & polish, anyone know how much it would cost?

would it make any difference if i had the head skimmed down to max it would go?

if it is the rings worn (fingers crossed it aint), they would have to be changed but would i get more compression from the 4efe pistons?

any help appreciated

they are the same mate. there may be casting differences, but inside they are the same.

and porting and polishing is pretty easy to do it just takes forever. i did mine and it took literally 10+ hours to do.

was it worth doin, did it make much difference?

I've seen the kits so u can do it yurself but id probably mess it up as I've heard its gotta be done properly or it will lose power.

anyone?

knifing the ports and opening them up doesnt take long really, the exhaust side is prety straight forward.

the intake side is alot more hassle because of the depth of the runners. still fairly easy though. it just takes time.

i aso mirrored the exhaust side of mine, so that took friggin ages... lol. lots of hours and lots of autosol

and yes, its defo worth it. it really makes a difference.

im curious Dub seven

if a person were to get all that u have done professionally by reputable company what would be a ball park figure for it???

as i recall a guy selling a heavily modded 4e head on tgtt a while back and he was looking for thousands 4 it???

[nic1.3]

ballpark figure of around 400 quid i'd say to port a supplied head.

oh my.... ah well sumthing to add to the wish list
