Hey guys,
     I'm ready to order my heads for my turbo 2 liter, and I want to use the CB CNC 044 Wedgeports.  I need to know if the exhaust guides are cut back and blended into the port?  Those of you that have purchased them, do you recall if the exhaust guide stuck out into the ports?
      (For those of you new to turbos, the reason why this is important is that the exhaust valve guide will quickly cook in the port if it is not cut back.)
      I'm not a head builder or shaper, so I don't want to mess with them if I don't have to.  I don't want to take the time to have them reworked if needed.  I'd rather just get them done and bolt them on.

Thanks gracey!  I called CB today and Pat told me that he puts in shorter valve guides in the exhaust port if you request it and tell them that you are using them in a turbo project.  Ordered up! Wink
