so after going to the scrapyard this morning to remove the head so i can port polish and get it skimmed, how many thou is best to remove?
here is the engine minus the head at the scrapyard... it took quite a while to get it off as it was a lot of guesswork with what to undo etc etc...
i never realised how good peugeot 207 roofs are lol...
the head is now on the bench and i have noted down the sizes of each port
im not sure if i should have done this but it seems to be okay, i have washed the head off with the hosepipe?
started the port and polish inlet side
I've now managed to get the head of my car, came off a lot quicker now i know what I'm doing!
the storage rack is also filling up quite quickly :|
she's looking in a sad way at the moment but its for the better and she will understand why i did so afterwards lol
hope you guys and girls all enjoyed!

thats what I'm hoping
Also what colour shall i paint the head?
Tbh I can't remember exactly what people have had skimmed, so don't want to guess a number haha
Full system will be good, and just go for a high temperature silver for the head

@infinity i think i may just leave skimming then and just stick to advancing the cams as been doing my research!
@Splyzer i had a look for a couple of your requirements i.e. spoiler and a splitter and although they had a few splitters most of them were broken as the tele handlers push them up a hill by the front of the bumper

if i see anything ill give you a shout!
mate everyones got to learn just like i am! the reason why i am porting the engine is because basically manufactures often go for quantity over quality which basically means the airflow into the engine is not as good as it could be! so by porting the engine it reduces any turbulence caused by poor design features, if you were to just port an engine with no other mods you won't notice any difference but with other mods it will be more noticeable just like other mods!

so small update/ plee for help so the first pic is the spark plugs which i removed from the old head, these spark plugs are about 2 months old if that and i can't even drive yet! its literally from just moving it around on the drive! MMMMAAAAAADDDDD
so this is a pic of the head in brake cleaner (told by a garage to use) ready for some elbow grease!
note piston 1 and 2 which i have already cleaned
would you say the chain tensioner needs changing? don't think it does but worth checking
the cam springs and collets, all numbered to each valve
@karlj thank you soooo much mate
@infinity heres the cable tie clip things?
queue the plee...
so i am cleaning the head but is there anything other methods or cleaning products to remove the carbon deposits? also whats best to clean the valve heads?
thanks guys hope you enjoyed
