Looking good? What parts.

It took my head about 7 months at the machine shop before it was ready. I was DAMN excited when it was finally finished.

It was at the shop for about 2 weeks so this was pretty painless. $240 for everything (valve job, resurfacing, exc)

Wow...$240 for a good head job (uh huh huh huh) is a great deal.

I assume you're going to add some RAS's this time around?

Nice, looks great. Did you measure and replace shims as needed or did yah just throw the whole thing together again?

Yeah, except when it comes time to tighten your cam sprockets down. Then the damned things just get in the way!

Is it a must to replace the valve springs, when installing rocker arm stoppers? Or could I get away with just putting in the ras and leaving the stock ones in?

Wow, I thought it was just me. Well... it probably is. I ran a boosted integra on the bottle last night and pulled on him 1st, 2nd then.... hit 5th. DOH!!! That really sucks, specially because I have it on tape.
