Thanks MM for rubbing it in, lol. btw, I do have 3 sets of gears up to 4.88:1, but still no valve clearance.I was thinking about getting the cutters you were talking about. Would it be worth it to cut a stock W head and use it to cut the pistons? Just so there are 4 bolts to R&R... That is if the stock head valve placement is the same as the Victor JR. From what I have read I think it is...? Also, does anyone know what is the most flow you can get out of a Victor Jr. head? Intake & Exhaust @ .650" to .700" lift [This message has been edited by Buster (edited 06-20-2002).]

To cut the pistons with the Isky tools, all you need a any junk Windsor head. The valve spacing is all the same. I only use 4 bolts to hold the head on when using them with no gasket. ------------------

OK, I am ordering the cutters today and talked to Comp Cams. Here is the cam they suggest:278/286 @ 050
696" 683"
110 CL The reason for the 110 CL is the 125 shot of NOS... [This message has been edited by Buster (edited 06-21-2002).]

When I used the Isky tool, it was so thick that I could not put the head on with the piston at TDC. If I tried to cut with the piston down the hole, it would not cut where it needed to cut. I had an old junk head that I cut on a band saw and torched the combustion chamber until the cutter would fit into the head. This allowed a piece of the head to bolt down with the piston a TDC and the cutter to contact the piston where it needed to for clearance. I didn't need deeper, I needed a larger diameter. It did a nice job once I got all of that figured out. Hope you have better luck.

WoW, sounds like my luck... I don't mind doing all of that, it's better then taking the engine apart. I can get an old head and do all of that to it...still an easier, I think, lol. btw, thanks for the heads up.

I had to remove a lot of material to get the cutter up into the head. A cutoff wheel might work ok and be a little neater. I cut for 1.94 valves in TRW 2446 pistons. The valves would touch just above the valve relief. If the head was not down on the block and the piston was not at TDC it would cut below the relief. I double checked with ISKY about the size of the cutter and they said a 2" was what I needed. Anyway, I got it done. You might ask Alex to see how he does it.

I've had problems getting plain ole' cheapo TRW flattops to clear 1.94"/1.60" valves in stock heads. The valve reliefs are generally deep enough, just not not wide enough for the larger valves.I just used a die grinder with a well lubed, wide fluted 'aluminum' carbide burr on slow speed to widen them out until they cleared. It might not be as 'pretty' as a custom tool, but just as effective. Good Luck! ------------------

I have a late model 351 large chamber head that we die ground the crap out of. It is a junk head used specificly for this purpose. Mike is right about the TRW pistons. The valve reliefs are plenty deep, just not wide enough. ------------------

MM, tkx for correcting me on my *die grinding* spelling, lol.
Also, does anyone know what is the most flow you can get out of a Victor Jr. head? Intake & Exhaust @ around .700" lift

I have heard intake numbers in the 340-350 range spread around. I would not believe them personally. More like 300 on a well ported set with zero guide and a really nice short turn radius. ------------------
