i will be getting the hole engine balanced and finely machined by a bloke i know who's very experienced with this **** but works for him self now only to make a little spending money as he's retired well semi lol, but yer he's very cheap

but yes the heads will flow there easily but it's better to have them flow alot better so you don;t have to strain the motor of all its got to make what you want better to have it flowing a **** load so you can make easy power on not much

and yes azz hahah 121 valves lol i can't wait to pull the head off one at work so i can compair lol bet you they are lol. actually there probly bigger then ours lol.

now here i got making a shopping list don't really wanna see the price in total :/

hopefully it the car will be quick .... fingers crossed
Those rods wont work then, no real need to get longer rods on an FP. If your just after some forgies check out some forged BP rods IIRC there similiar BE, might need some slight machining to fit. You'd gain about 2 mm in rod length

I wouldn't go much bigger if any bigger on the intake tbh id be focusing on the exhaust valves. There tooo small and im kicking myself now that I didnt have them enlarged by a mm. Also wish i had had the exhuast ports mirrored in hope of getting better exhaust velocities.

Remember the bigger the valves are the lower your intake velocity will be and thus the worse the engine will perform at lower rpms. Honestly man at that sort of redline you don't really need any big head work, port patch, smooth out machining marks and you'd be under way

EDIT: Might even be able to use a BP piston on top, but youd wanna check this out.
