Dave updates what went wrong with his road to CNC for the Gen 1 coyote and the head he choose for his personal ride and why he needs a back up plan!

Thinkin’ this reveals a part of things people don’t consider. The requirement to reverse engineer, things like datums and locations, that aren’t found in manuals and other references, to build in accuracy / compatibility, before starting to make chips, if y’all expect to do it more then once.

truth! Total fail on my end, for just being lazy.

So, recently the head gaskets on my SOHC Subie started to leak (as they do). I did some mild port work before sending the heads off for a resurface and nice fresh valve job. Headgames were about $200 more than one of your competitors - so I chose the competitor. That was a mistake. They did a beautiful job resurfacing the deck; and the valvejob looks good (and seals). They did a good job tipping the valvestems. When I assembled my cams and set lash - all 16 were consistently about 0.020" loose, suggesting they actually translated the material lost to grinding valves & cutting seats into the material removed off the valvestems. However, the $100 I paid them to clean the heads was a total waste. There was still black Boelube funk in the ports as well as other grime from 180k miles on the heads. They came back assembled - but I had to re-disassemble them to **actually** clean them - and then re-re-assemble again. The heads came back wrapped in a couple layers of saran-wrap. Luckily they re-used my very nice boxing with custom liquid-foam inserts. The communication was almost non-existent. I know automotive machine shops are usually not very responsive; and usually overpromise/underdeliver in terms of delivery dates - but it took 8 weeks (after promised delivery date) to finally get them to answer emails/calls and get the heads shipped out. Last, when I DID finally get a hold of them and was time to pay - they wanted 2X more than the published prices on the "services" page of their website. I had to argue/negotiate to get them to come close to matching their published prices. In the end, my choice "saved" me maybe $50. Luckily, the subie is back up and running - even feels like it's got a little more oomph above ~4000rpm... But I won't make this same mistake again. Keep up the good work.

It doesn't sound like you to just assume! Being with Don Schumacher racing they do a lot of assuming here to but I just look at them a little crazy.

I certainly would think nobody would assume there! But, that's in every shop. We think we know, until we learn that we didn't know lol

You haven't tried porting at 10/10ths until mistakes happen.

Congrats on the CNC! Will it work better than hand porting when it comes to pocket porting 2jz heads ?
@GroovesAndLandsАй бұрын
CNC is not "better" than hand porting; it's just faster. Keep in mind the robot doesn't know HOW to port. It simply reproduces the porting YOU show it how to do. For heads where all the ports are the same, like an LS, the CNC is able to make all of them identical... You can digitize just one intake port and one exhaust port, and the robot will re-create that exact same shape for the rest of the ports. However, considering real world airflow dynamics within the intake manifold - it's questionable if there is any advantage to every single port being identical to begin with. Last, in terms of the 2JZ - every port is different from Toyota anyway.
