I don't understand why even stick with 2.0 heads if you're gonna spend $750 to have them rebuilt and another $400 for chamber matching. Plus shipping handling and down time. Just buy a long block.
Eds method is one of several options. I still haven't seen a dyno chart from the SAME car with and without the heads.
It used to be a major issue with hybrid builds but with new piston designs and what not, there seems to be a lot of hybrid cars doing fine.
Beyond that.. this is the baic. There are plenty if places to read about this stuff in engine tech here and nasioc. And plenty of places to reads eds ads. The baic is one place I'd like to be able to avoid this stuff. Do mods... why is this still here?
If you want to support your local vendors you can ask these questions direct in the vendor forums and in the tech forums.
And yes, I'm in a very bad mood.

These are options that have been successfully used by many shops when building hybrids.
Scroll to the bottom of the page...fourth item from the bottom.

Neither option addresses this issue. But as a tuner, you know that.

Well, I can only speculate that further machining is performed by Larry's Auto Machine.

Don't forget... keep me posted on that long block. I'm in no hurry but money finds ways of vanishing these days. LOL.
Just trying to figure out what else I'll need. My reading tells me there is a way to keep my stock ecu and wiring harness but I want it to be clean/bared and smogged.
so yeah... move this! i-club's tech section could use some life. Friggin no fly zone over there.

Not as cranky today as I was yesterday.
Was one of those days yesterday. I got so pissed off I started throwing dirty diapers all over the place. Ahhhhhh. Crap. I left the damn bag by the door when I left today. Oops.
BS is just that I find it interesting what gets moved and what doesn't. The tech forums on i-club are a joke. They're so dead. Threads like this have the potential to help. Their was that big stink last year about putting ALL threads like this in the proper place so that other places besides the BAIC would see some attention. Then nothing happens. Not regularly anyways.
I absolutely HATE nasioc. It's slow. It's clunky. It always goes down. Bunch of douche bags, etc. But their tech sections are active and if I have tech research to do, that's where I go. I'd like to see i-club be more useful. And their classifieds are HUGE... but that's just member base.
i-club at this point should just be called the bay area and sometime socal social club.

I do agree with you that the tech section would be more appropriate for this question. But I find it funny that you only decided to state this after I explained our approach specifically. Its also funny to hear this from someone who just last week posted a review of their favorite shop in the BAIC section instead of the designated review section. Lets try to keep things a bit less biased when someone asks an honest question.
Thanks

I have no issue with that.
I just deleted a huge response. It's your call if you want to dive in to it.
up to you.

And I was not e-raging at all. You want to see an e-rage I can certainly bring one. Ask anyone that's been around. I was just making a point.
Hell.. if I can't vent a little here then where. Maybe I should go tweet about it.
