We start with a very good condition 1500 fuel injected head, with 10mm head bolt holes. All threads / stud holes are intact, and clean coolant passages absent of corrosion or enlarged openings. All spark plug and coolant sensor holes have clean threads, and we replace any valve guide whose measurements are out of spec. We mill the head to ensure straightness and fit a stock camshaft.
New (not used) valves and provide a trick three-angle valve cut on the seats which has been flowbench proven to increase flow by nearly 40%! New competition valve springs with stock retainers are used, which are guaranteed to put up with a high RPM beating up to 9K RPM without danger of valve float.
The job is finished up by fitting a new cam seal, gaskets, and a freshened cam box cover with excellent condition springs and bushings that are cleaned and freshly re-assembled.
Condition: Freshly Rebuilt
