how hard is it to swap my standard rsi head, for a ported and polised one, im quite handy with a set of spanners. i know a couple of good mechanics but would rather try myself.

also what gains would i see with a ported and polished head, it aso has a re-ground cam, not sure on the spec its been changed too?!?

thanks in advance

easy enough. take lots of photo,s mark the cam timing etc should be ok. new gasket and bolts. easy if you follow the haynes manual. gains of around 10 to 20 bhp with head and cam maybe.

i did the head gasket on my nova over a weekend, but took about 6-7 hours in total!!
