J32A2 ported & polsihed heads- Tweaking towards perfection

Some of you may have seen these heads before in build threads, for sale threads (as mock up), random pictures in threads, etc... I originally bought them for a build I was doing that has since been cancelled due to the turbo j35a8 98 Accord build thats nearing completion. Anyhow, Ive recently regained interest in them due to a top secret build Im doing for my 03 TL-S and wanted to dedicate this thread to making the perfect set of j32a2 heads...and I mean that in every aspect possible. :toocool:

Originally, they were ported (not polished) by a long time friend of mine and he opened them up pretty big. They WERE destined for a 3.5 large cam, NA build so I wanted big ports to make some great power. He himself did some amazing work in the 30+ hours or so he invested in them. I decided that I would take his work further and really tweak them by doing a polish for both the exhaust ports and combustion chambers. This will be done one thing at a time and I will update it with pictures for those who carry any interest in it. Just something for fun. As time progresses (up till the next build) I will add more to them here and there.

For now, Ive started and completed one head on polishing the combustion chambers. This was easily about 5-6 hours of work alone. I took some before and after pictures BUT the before pics were taken AFTER the progressive sanding process so it doesnt really illustrate the casting inperfections in the head. But even from sanding only, its a pretty big difference. Check it out.
