|  i'm upgrading my valvetrain to skunk2 stage2 cams. retainers,springs and valves. my tuner,eddie advised me to go ahead and do a port and polish first. That way everything is right the first time. NOW the question. How can i tell the car hasnt already hadd the port and polish? the reason i ask is because the car was origionally being built for the track.Last time the valve cover got taken off i was told it was completely stock. But again my car makes such good power that Eddie believes that there has got to be something in the head. Is there a way i can find out without tearing DEEP into the motor? thanks for reading guys

| Find somebody with a stock head and compare the ports? Thats the only thing I can think of. |

| you can also tell by the surface finish of the ports. just pull the manifolds off. You will be able tto tell immediately if the casting marks and finish are still there. my topic re: my diy pnp. you can tell a difference |

| that port polish kit that massasy was talking about is what my friend used on my head...he said it worked good but it would only work once becuase the one smoothing bit was done after he had finished lol...he used a hand drill he didn't use a dremel..it was way to easy. |

| i have time to look now. My motor is coming apart thanks to the fuckin rods going out. but have no fear,an entire Eagle forged bottom end is on the way! I looked at a ported typeR motor being built next to mine and am going to compare today. I have already looked once but it had carbon build up and couldn't really see. |
