Default Re: Update on my hi-miler Z project

Since I've been running with the Secondary Port Throttles deleted, I needed to perform the deletion procedure on the new heads (which definitely ARE new!). I took some pics of the process, for anyone considering doing the same on their own motor:

Here you can see the throttle plate, and I'm using a vise-grip pliers to hold the magnet end of a telescoping retrieval magnet. All of the materials (plate, shaft, screws) are ferrous, so the magnet is a little insurance policy against losing anything down the intake port. The screws are a T10 torx.





Once the screws are removed, and stuck to the magnet, the entire plate/loose screws assembly is carefully lifted up via the magnet.
