Modifications to cylinder head

[Dale002]

I have to do a valve job on my 97 sl2 and was wondering, while I have the head off if there's any advise as to what type of mod. I can do to increase performance of the engine

with a saturn, really it depends on how much you want to spend. one thing i suggest to do is get some high temp valve stem seals from www.streetdesignauto.com or www.saturnmotorsports.com. id say go to street design auto, since they are coming up with parts cheaper. but from there really a good port job will do most of the work. a 97 head is good for porting, unlike the newer heads which are very thin on the inner walls. but for me im going to build an engine for a supercharger and i plan to make 300whp so my head is going to have all the goodies. i am going to have dual valve springs, titanium retainers and keepers, high temp seals, stainless valves, 3 angle valve job, and ill probably port it myself and im using the stock cams. its just really up to you, but definitely pickup some high temp valve stem seals, it will save you in the long run.
