Head going together

My highly technical Cam Chain tensioner Compressor 

For those Familiar with the 20v head you will see that I removed all of the oil galley ball plugs to clean all of the channels. I Also tapped for the Head Pressure switch and tapped the holes for pipe plugs (not fully inserted in this pic).

Head will be going on the block Tomorrow Until then, it's time for a beer.

The Lid is on the Short Block and it feels like a big accomplishment!

Trying to decide on what to do with the valve cover. I am thinking either Wrinkle Black or Powder Coat it Blue. Since the car is black, I am thinking that Blue Valve Cover and Blue Silicone couplers might not hurt the eyes. All Hoses and such will be black.

I did the Charger Brackets and such in a Cast AL color paint and really like that aspect. Need a few to think it over some more.

Thanks Matt.

Here is a little update and regarding the pics below:

- Valve Cover is not powder coated yet and therefore not bolted on.

- Still need to come up with a spacer for the AEB timing covers to account for the taller ABA block. I have an extra set of covers, so we'll see.

- Awaiting adjustable Cam Gear to account for 1/2 tooth timing offset.

Welded an -AN fitting on the Breather Block off plate and drilled and milled the back of the Charger Bracket.

as always, Click for Larger Pics.

Thanks!

Intake is now port matched, but my freaking fingers are about to fall off and I am only about 3/4 of the way there grinding and sanding the intake in prep to polish. The factory casting was the suck...

Anyway, was up at my brothers shop today to cut my wheel spacers on the lathe, so I also de-ramped, polished and painted the OBD1 ABA Throttle Body.

Pics as usual
