Head Gasket Repair beginning soon any tips?
#11
When I did mine, I was glad that I elected to replace the coil packs with new good quality ones (OEM). I wish I had got a valve job done, I had the heads resurfaced and new stem seals, but a valve job would not have been much more at the machine shop and might have got me some compression back.

Could someone clarify this? I’m a bit confused. Is the port on the head smaller than the exhaust headers?

I have the H180 cam so the head is breathing a bit more than stock. It made a difference enlargening them. I cannot speak to the stock cam.

replacing the valve stem seals should be a no-brainer. it's such a simple job. even if you have your heads sent out to be skimmed/tested etc., you can still do it yourself after you get them back rather than pay an exorbitant amount to have someone else do it.
as for the sai pipes, i was able to get one of the injectors loose on each side without distorting the pipe, enough so that i could unscrew that injector. after one injector is out, the other one can be loosened safely without worrying about pipe damage.
