send head to portflow or not?
What is everyone's opinion on Port Flow Design? Early this year my cam gear slipped and bent some valves, so I got a complete Ferrea valve train from Port Flow and had in installed at a local machine shop. Last month I was getting low compression on one cylinder so I took the head off and one of the valves was leaking. Got it fixed at a different machine shop. Last night that same valve broke (about 1/10 of the valve is missing). I know have the engine out and I'm trying to decide whether I should send the head to Port Flow for their full headwork service, or take it back to the first machine shop that put the valve train in.

Did you send your head there John? What was the turn around time with them?

Re: send head to portflow or not? (vtecvoodoo)
Well, it's decided. I'm sending the head off to Port Flow in the morning. Since this is going to take a month, I'd like to put another head on and get the engine back in the car. Would a b18a head work on this vtec block (b17a)? I've never had my b18a taken apart, so I don't know what the oil passages look like. Would it be as simple as using the LS head and LS headgasket?
