The only port work was just around the valve seats. I had about 1000.00 into the heads parts labor after all was said. These were bolted on a 454 with a HO cam. I would not take theses heads racing ....but for cruisers they are just the deal

I have a question. I rebuilt an 8.1 496. Haven’t started it yet I’m waiting for intake carb push rods and rockets. Bored 30 over. ARP rod bolts. New flat top pistons. Heads cleaned a little exhaust port work. Comp cams springs. My question is when it came to the head gasket the only choice I had was felpro. I noticed a LOT of gap between cylinder walls. Is this ok? Also I noticed had no alignment pins for the heads. So I cleaned the threads. Got new head bolts. Used a little lube on the shoulder and torque to 60. Also I sprayed copper gasket. Honestly I have my fingers crossed and hope it’s dependable. When I torqued my bolts some would torque earlier. Any advice what’s your take on this. Should I buy a better gasket is it worth it.

Truck head question. I have a 366T with 473328 heads. I had an engine vibration. I took heads off and found exhaust valves were mismatched. 3 valves in one head were flat bottom and 1 was concave. The other head had 3 concave and 1 flat bottom exhaust valve. Would the valve shape being different in one cylinder be enough to change compression in that cylinder to cause an engine vibration? Having 1 cylinders valve being different than the other 3? Thanks. I'm wanting to use the 366 truck heads on a 68 396 short block (bored .030). I realize I may have to clearance cut the chamber to clear the #1433 raised dome (9.6 comp). piston. It's for a 58 belair street car. I want small valves and oval ports for good torque. I wont be revving it past 5k if ever.

Hey Mark, don't you have the same issue with AFR heads as far as head gasket? I know when I build my 496ci 4.450 was the size of gasket I had to use, other wise the gasket hung over the combustion chamber. I bought 4.375 and they wouldn't work, so the closest I could get was 4.450 , on a set of magnum 290cc oval port 112cc chambers I used a .030 MLS cometic gasket with the piston .007 in the hole. On a dart big M block

Believe it or not i actually agree with him on this one. I actually think he his understating the issues with pro comp heads. Seat heights and seats barely in the casting (falling out) is another issue. There is very little right about them.The heads are also very thin light weight. Pro comp has an other version with a 360c intake and oval exhaust ports that is a much better part. Much better quality. thicker casting. Seem to be a copy of the old pro action heads? He bashes a much better head like air flow or brodix but he is polite about pro comp?

I'm not a fan of Speedmasters but I think they have a legit place in the market. I'm working out the details on a 460 BBF swap into a 93' F150. All I'm looking for is a torque monster street cruiser. Any used iron heads are going to need a lot of work = money. Name brand alum = Much bigger $$. BBF Speedmasters are at least as good as prepped D0VE's and weigh half as much. I'd love to have a set of Kaase SR-71's... if I can get someone else to pay for them. ;)

Pretty much every independent test I've seen has shown these speedmaster heads aren't very good. It seems the AFR 265's are the best head for fairly short $$. When I say fairly short, I'm considering a good head that's ready to run vs a really cheap head that needs ton's of work and parts before you can put it on the engine.

Add a air pressure gauge to the valve covers (0 - 5psi). IF you have blow by at high rpm, it will still pressure the crankcase. Run the car on a chassis Dyno. If you want the best gauge, use a water column, with food dye. This will show positive & negative psi. Water column will show tenths or hundreds of psi. Was the block honed using a Deck plate???? Comment back, want feedback on this theory? Thanks

I believe camshaft selection along with the intake choice hurt your HP potential. They were the right choice for a Torquemonster, but with that many cubes a duration in the 240°- 250° range would have suited the build better in terms of HP output. Also, with a cam in the 240° + range a small singleplane would have complimented the build better, if your goal was indeed HP production.

I think you could be right but again if the customer wanted that intake and that particular cam, the customer gets to make those decisions and Mark may have had to work within those parameters.

In this build, he mentioned using a Scat 9000 crank. KB/Icon makes stroker pistons for 402 to 434 builds. His massaged 781 heads should wake up a 402/434 I figure. Need to talk to these guys, love the way they do the videos, laid back basic machine work. 620hp/647= 1.327 hp/ci. 434 x 1.327 = 576hp, sounds like fun.

He's right , I have the same heads. Purchased from Skipwhite. They did put in really good valves,seats ,guides and retainers.I did put in comp cam springs and my Corvette runs like hell. So ,resumed : The casting is perfect but the original valves ,etc are bull shit. So buy bare heads and put in quality stuff.

@@kmcwhq Yes, and how much/where depends on far too many factors to predict. This is where the term 'seasoned block' comes from - a block thats already been run hard for some miles and done most if not all of its distortion, so it stays put after you machine it for performance use.

Why do you say "incompetent?" GM engineers designed two of the most successful production based engines of all time. Let me set you straight.... When you produce hundreds if not thousands of engines per day for 50 to 60 years there will be foundry/ machine/ tooling upper and lower limits. By the way, you've never poured an engine block or a cylinder head etc, etc in your life so how would you know???

maybe but the amount of work they had to make them right still might not even be worth it even if you bought them bare. just buy a performer RPM head retangle port and a weind high rise. proably less work and would bolt on as well with more compression

When you said the exhaust valve guides were all shot I think I know why. I have a set of these very heads in square port! When I have the geometry right for that 320 cc exhaust valve for 90 degrees at mid lift the 1.7 roller rocker that came in the kit with the heads is on the outside edge (toward the fender) of the top of the valve. If those were kit heads that could be the reason why all of the valve guides for exhaust were shot. My question to you is how do I figure out what back set rocker I would need to correct that issue? The valve top 250 thousands maybe a 32 more. Do I count back from side to center from 1.7 to figure out the back set I would need? I realize this video is old and you might not even see my comment but if you happen to somehow I would really appreciate the help... Thank you in advance, Larry

Doing fixes seem to be the standard thing with pro comp stuff consistency in the casting and machining is always nowhere defiantly better to pay for the US made heads if you don't wanna mess around for average results.
