Also not happy with the turnaround time, but again, the whole point was for someone to "be the guinea pig," so whatev.

If the head has been measured, factory cams measured, stock head flowed to see what potential it had and how much work it needed, then every port worked on, then reflowed, ports reworked to equal them up, reflowed again to double check, then grind custom cam to suit, then preassemble to make sure cam doesn't foul on the head etc, I don't think a month is at all unreasonable (unless much shorter promises. were made and broken).

I was once told by a very experience engine head guy, that it takes him about 8 hours per port for 2 valve per cylinder motors and more for 4 valve per cylinder motors.

Well if he had said "hey listen, it's gonna be a month and a half" I'd be cool with it, but he started telling me @ week three that I "should have it by the end of next week" which kinda' pissed me off.

So how's it rockin' now?

I hope that H3LlIoN's lack of updates is because he lost his laptop charger and not because he's been incarcerated for the murder of a certain merchant who didn't ship the parts in a reasonable time like he had promised...

Hey guys, this is Aras. I'm also in the process of getting a head from Bill. Here are my cam profiles.

420 grind lift
420 duration 238 on intake cam
Exaust cam 400 lift 238 duration

My head is also being O-ringed and i'm using a Cometic copper gasket.

My grind and my head are pretty extreme but I'm using full standalone so my Idle won't be a problem.

Bill has been doing racing heads for 20 years and is also a Aerospace Engineer. He is sometimes difficult to talk to mainly because he has hearing aids from racing for 40 years. Easy guy to talk to other than the hearing loss. His wife Faye runs the books and takes care of all the finances. It's a family run business so things are low key and not so industry standard. So you'll need to be paticent. your not dealing with a corporation this is a private racing company and lets face it, he's the only one doing this work for this head.

My package cost 2150.00 but mine is all out race and the O-ring head cost 400.00 extra. I'm also running a Edlebrock 70mm T/B and not his. As well as I'm running direct port nitrous with a sheet metal intake manifold.

I'll also keep you posted on my progress.

I really hope for the best!

I know years ago when I was big into Hondas, there had been a lot of mixed results both performance wise and customer service wise with Gude. When I saw their name pop up in the Yaris circle, I was quite surprised.

We got ARP studs for a different car and re-threaded both the block and the head.

There is a thread on MI for aftermarket studs available from a company in Spain.

"in the process" means you've ordered it and paid a deposit?

This should be a very nice addition to your build.

xbgod · 09-04-2010, 11:25 PM

Yes it's been paid. Just a wait and see game now. I will not have mine tuned untill sometime in Nov. I've changed alot of stuff on my car so lots of things going on right now. As well as getting my appointment at CFT and Rolo to tune it; he's always slammed with work so it's my first oportunity to tune.

Two other things on my head that I didn't mention. I'm using Ferrera valves and the cams are 114 on centers.

I've done so much motor upgades, it's gonna be interesting to see the out come.

All I know is that I hope this new turbo / head upgrade pays off.

Well, when your neck snaps in half going WOT, due to all your upgrades, that grin you crack will be sooo worth it:D

xbgod · 09-05-2010, 02:14 AM

Here are some attachments of my engine bay as it stands right now. Pardon the mess but you get the idea. Got stuff coming and going in and out so nothing has been tightened up or wires hidden yet. This is just to give you guys an idea of what I'm doing
