True.
Anything like what we discussed at the rally? i.e. the plate is long enough to measure one side (intake or exhaust) without unbolting the plate.

....just wondering.

I'll have to see about that. It would certainly add to the material and machining costs. It would almost certainly have to be anodized and I suspect that would add to the cost as well. It would be ideal to be able to do a whole side at once though.
I need to get my hands on a head first. Dwayne has one locally, but the engine is still together. Damn, I wish I'd have thought about this before last weekend.

1) I don't have a GTi-R head
2) Do you even need one for the GTi-R?

Come over to NYC and you wouldnt ask that question. Out of the 7 Gti-r engines, I think only 2 of them are quiet. The rest including mine have to be reshimmed!

I'm not familiar with the GTi-R head.
OK, who wants to send me one.
Actually, once we have a decent prototype, I might be willing to ship it to someone to see if it works. Mike, I'm sure you have access to a GTi-R head that is stripped down, don't you? If so, that would tell us if the basic layout is the same. I think it should be, but who knows (I don't)?

the only quiet on i have heard is a stock one. every aftermarket head or built motor for a gti-r i have heard they have been NOISY beyond belief. i am scared to drive my car hard cause of the noise.

Originally posted by 1fastser At the machine shop, I doubt that I specified the stems to be ground to the same height as that would have made it a little easier.
And it came back to bite me in the backside! Having the valve job brought the valves slightly deeper in the head thus making the valve stems sit higher. The result: The smallest shim recommended (2.8mm I believe) is too tall, bringing the overall height out of spec!
I'm having the stems that are too tall ground down now. The saga continues.
