Just thought I would remind you all who have 2.3 engines, I just pulled my head and intake off to fix valve guide seals and I discovered that the last owner of this engine put a D-port gasket on an oval port head sometime in its past, no wonder it never seemed to run like I thought it should. I ended up buying a D-port head because the price was right and it is rebuilt but it has been milled up near to the intake bolt holes. Any idea of about the compression ratio it will have, its a 85 heart shaped head. I could not find a D-port stock carb intake so I ported out the intake ports to the oval port size. It came out nice. I think this head was intended for a pony stock car.

Thanks for the info, that is just like my head is milled.

Ok dumb question, why would you pull the head just to change valve seals??..

If it's mine & has been together over 30 years I'd pull it to change gaskets as well as seals & toss a belt on it too

Well, in that case if it was 30 years old and never torn down I think I'd go down to bare block, lol. Just wondered because I've changed valve seals a ton of times without pulling heads.

Check with Fel-Pro they should have what you need I would think.
