Combustion Chambers

Here you see the valve faces and combustion chambers (including the area of the deck that is not covered by gasket material) coated in the 2000 degree insulative coating.

Closer Look

Here is a closer look at the valves in the combustion chambers and valves.

Back of the Valves

Even the backs of the exhaust valves are coated to try to protect the valves and keep as much heat out of the head as possible.

Back Side

Here you see the combustion chambers, as well as the intake/exhaust surface. The ports to the far right and far left are exhaust ports, and the port in the middle of the picture is an intake port.

Exhaust Port

Here you see the insulative coating on the inside of the exhaust port, as well as the phosphate coating on the gasket surface, and the oil-repellent coating on the exterior of the head.

Head Coated

Here's a full view of the head. I'm thinking that the head would look really good, sandwiched between a black block and black, powder coated alloy valve cover.

Top

You can see that the head is completely coated in the oil/water repellent.

Thermostat

Here is the thermostat area. No more worries about this area corroding!

Exhaust Port

A closer look at the exhaust port on the end of the head.

Intake Port

Looking into the intake port.

Inside Exhaust

A shot inside an exhaust port. You may note the slightly peaked metal where my grinding didn't quite come out as smooth as I'd hoped. This is not good, as it will be a focus area for heat. I can only hope that this will not become an issue somewhere down the road.

Inside Intake

Looking inside the intake port. Here you can see the valves and valve guides, as well as the surface of the interior of the intake. This area needs to be left slightly rough to promote movement of the air/fuel, without having the fuel condense out of the mix.
