84 gpz 750 non turbo head on a 82 kz 750 block?

I stand corrected about the valve cover. Laid the cams in my 750 head with the cam chain held tight from underneath, then lowered the valve cover over the top. The rubb block in the cover hit the chain before the cover was seated against the head. Eating a crow sandwich. Sorry for the bad info.

No problem, I like to hear all opinions, I appreciate everyone's input and time

Finally after the holidays have past, I got the 84 head and have started to clean and smooth the exhaust ports, also removed the extra material under the valve seat. Has anyone out there plugged up the air port right at the valve guide so it does not dead head up where the block off plate would be? I was thinking of taking a rod slightly over sized and pressing it in and having the top finished off with a tig, then reshaping the area. Here is a pic of what i have so far, also the intake is smoothed from the factory about 2-3 inches in on this head and also on my 82 gpz head, just not all the way, also smoothed around the intake valve seat.

Hey Kawi810 how do you like the 810 kit? im on the fence with putting it in, I have the pistons, but not sure if I should use the machine shop costs somewhere else.....

No replacement for displacement.
I've got an 810cc kit sittin at the local UPS warehouse
right now be delivered in the morning.
Also cleaning up a GPz head to go with it.

what do you thin about the air port in the exhaust? I started reshaping around the hole and smoothing the lines that flow around the air port to the guide

the 810 cc kit works great my head is also milled about .020 "with the cams i have it pulls from about 4500 rpms to 11000 rpms.

the air port in the exhaust i just plugged from the top . i tapped 1/2-13 put in set screws. i am also using a valve cover from a turbo no airports in the cover.

I was thinking of doing the same. I was jsut up one night wondering if I should plug it down low so the air was not dead heading up the top of the head, not sure if it would flow better.

i was told it does not make a difference, far as performance goes but check with the experts on that, like Larry c.
