RE: port and polish HELP!!!!!
i told him that he could do this because he has asked if there was some way that he could do something on my car that i had wanted for awhile, and this is what i suggested. andthe poor guyhas a job, but has lost everything in a divorce, the only things he has are his tools, car and little girl.
coty has done several port and polish jobs, just none of them have ben on a honda, they have all been on small block cheveys.
so any kind of help would be nice rite now

Youll want the manifolds so he can port-match them. Then the question is which head has valve guides or valve seats that are in better shape. Or camshaft bearing journals. Or whatever...
You couldtake off YOUR head & compare them, then port/polish the best one. But then youll be swapping heads twice...
