Decided to go with Protomotive headstuds. These are very stout - increase of over 20% in core diameter and 40% heavier than both Raceware and stock.

Thanks! Here's a couple more.

Measured head for flatness...Stock is pretty good but there was a sightly low section.


Along cylinders 2 & 3....


Sent heads to Protomotive for flycutting and o-ringing. Lighting not the greatest - shadows are amplified but head is perfectly flat all around. His o-ring work is masterful.

Wow. That is quite the undertaking and work looks very complicated and seems to be worked on by real pros. Care to share what the cost of this will be?
