[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 11530801, member: 11681"] Interesting and consistent with what I have heard about the quality of the OE "valve job"... which of course is a misnomer since they just basically get assembled and shipped. I would imagine the SVT engine teams got a bunch of complete Romeo pre-assembled heads and put them on the short blocks they put together. I don't see any head assembly work taking place here: [url=http://www.ironfistleadfoot.com/ironfistleadfoot.html]Welcome to the home of "Iron Fist, Lead Foot"...[/url] With 32 valves to get right or screw up I believe this is one of the reasons we saw such a wide range of bone stock dyno power numbers. I have heard from different engine builders that a simple valve job can conservatively net any where from 10 to 30 horsepower, and those were mostly old school push rod 2 valve muscle car era engines.
