No, For Oral Cunnalingus.

Course Free lol.

There are subtle differences in the machining between the wily and valver head, it;'ll only take me a short time to replicate it (bar the larger valves).

larger valves are cheap-ish anywy, i fit 33mm ones not 32.4's.

The expense comes form the new guides fitted and seats machined.

You dont need the larger valves on a stock engine anyway.

Back.

The 33's need new seats on the 7P head, on the 7R they 'just' fit.

Nxt step is 34.7's....and 35's will fit so long as you................

when porting a head, if you wanted to then fit greater sized seats, do u do the porting first with the old seats in place, then change them or put new seats in first and blend into the port?
