ok first off all i have looked at the search and didn't find what im looking for.
I am thinking of porting and polishing my g161 head and im just wondering what kind of prices im looking at paying( in perth, but any prices will do), or what prices anyone else has paid. Also wondering if i have to change anything else in order for it to run properly.


regards

porting is the last thing u should do , it will do bugger all unless u have large exhaust , lumpy cam, big carb ect, as theres no need for more flow standard
