Hey all, I want to buy a set of heads as a project for later down the road. I want to get more familiar with the dohc engine for one, and I like putting my personal touch on my cars.
I'd like to clean them up (not port them) put in larger valves, better valve guide seals, better springs, keepers and locks.
This would be a one step at a time, do alot of research then a little work, kind of deal.
What Im wondering is, how available are the 9 thread heads? I'd like to avoid spitting out a plug but it sounds like the 9thrd heads are hard to come by.
Also Im guessing it would be smart to start out with 03/04 heads instead of the 99/01?
Would FR500's require any special intakes or gaskets?
I dont want to waste money, but this is a side project to help me get aquainted with our engines.
