3A deconstruction DONE!

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

When and if I can afford to get my head P&Ped, I will have Fumio Fukaya do
it...  He is in Cali, and he has been flowing VW heads since the early
seventies.  He was a designer, machinist for EMPI (the original), and he is
very bright when it comes to P&Ping heads...  More recently, before
Techtonics had a flow bench, Darrell Vittone (son of the man that started
EMPI) ahd him do all their P&Ping...  I would gamble that there are a few
shops that have him do their work them as well...  Here is the best part:
P&P for the street for a 16V, $500.00!  8V, $250.00!  20V, you do the math!
:)

My personal opinion is, sure I could try to do it, and I would prolly see an
improvement over stock.  However, after watching a good friend who is a
mechanic experiment with what to take off where, I know that I don't know
how to get the most horsepower for the least effort, therefore I will leave
it to a professional...

PS. If anyone is interested in his phone number, contact me off-list and I
will get it to you...

Actually, head porting is not that hard...

Have a look at this site:
<<http://www.sa-motorsports.com/diyport.htm>>

I did it twice with excellent results.

Cheers.
