Wasted valve seats?

I've heard of wasted valve stems (which mine hasn't got)
Or 3 angle valve (also mine hasn't got)
It's had a light porting and someone has ground the standard valve guides!

Thats the bunny. Wasted guides.

Sure you mean bronze guides? Although mine aren't that ground down std guides. Suppose pub talk sake waisted guides could be used. lol

Bit more progress! Going to take complete engine out tomorrow. Then get the rack of and dissemble.
Random green rust gel applied! Worked well to get surface rust off!

A bit of primer... just to keep the car from rusting! Also removed some extra un-needed weight! lmao

Rumour had it that my head had been 'ported'. Now I looked into the ports, and the valve guides on the inlet have been ground away, the inlets are quite smooth. It's an early Coscast, with 13mm guides. Any gen!?

Now I need a generator that will power my Compressor, angle grinder and drill. Even better would be if it could do my MIG too! off to JR's more update soon!

Whats the blue pipe/wire taped up??

Blue taped wire was because I run out of red, and it reminded me that that should be red lmao

Roof vent ok:)

Noob question, wheres the filter on those TB's? i've seen a few pics like that and always assumed they just took a sausage filter off for the pics or something, but unless you have a sealed entry through a similar filter for the nitrous kit I'm guessing yours is permanantly like that? :confused: Was an awesome Nova btw and glad to see you're fixing it up :thumb:
