just found out the flow figures of a dead std 2J head and 1J head yes i know its not a SOHC std 2J as follows 238@400lift intake 154@400lift exhaust std 1J 215@400 intake 133@400 exhaust even after the guy ported the 1J head, it still didnt match the std 2j head figures where 230 and 152@400 all tests where done on the same bench i guess that puts the rumour to rest that the 1j head is better than the 2J

boys im going to get some head work soon and this post has been very informative! thanks guys some quick Q's figures like 225 at 78% @500 @28"with 1mm over size can someone elxplain what all that means? i assume 1mm oversize refers to the valve, but 500 lift and 28"?? ive got no idea!
