    need advice on f23a1 head

    So most of you know i have been running a f23a1 block wit a ported and polished f22a6 head it's been my daily and has been reliable even under boost BUT yesterday i noticed my head gasket seemed to be leaking on the back of the block where the head and block meet...so this being said i think im gonna just slap the f23a1 head i have on there I'm probably gonna pprt and polish it as well but what else should i upgrade and WHERE do i find a turbo cam for the f23? Only positive feed back please im tired of hearing all the negative comments thanks for any and all advice

    Do you have ARP Head Studs? The head might have lifted off the block under boost. If you don't I would definitely invest in some. I believe that after 500 miles you have to retorque the head after install. I would look into Bisimoto or Delta for an F23A cam; and if you have the cash get the Bisimoto valvetrain as well so you can run the bigger 2.4 cam for more gains.

        Yes i do have arp head studs so i doubt the head lifted but where do i get a delta cam everyones always talking about them but ive yet to find a website or anything for them..i am aware of bisimoto though i was just wondering how many companies made a cam for the f series

        What's the difference between h22 and f20b dohc heads? I prefer staying sohc when boosting my personal preference but im open to any ideas as for im still driving mine just wanna gain performance with as little down time as possible

            How is a different type of the the solution to a blown headgasket? Check the F22A head for warpage that could very well have existed previous to the swap. Then, replace the headgasket, follow proper torque procedures and reinstall.

            The difference between a PCB F20B head and a P13 H22A head are the combustion chamber diameters. They also belong on their respective blocks.

            This strange website came up when I Googled "delta camshaft":

              Thanks for the website...and yea i tried google and every site seemed like a site i coulda set up so i doubt I'll be trusting any place that looks like it was designed by a retard with no computer skills like myself..and thanks for being a douche about the site since it must have been so much work to copy the link jarret and the f22a6 was rebuilt to spec before installation so there SHOULD'VE been no wear again thanks guys

                I would doubt that its the head gasket leaking, more likely valve cover or something.

                  If you're going turbo, just use the F23 head. it will fit properly with no issues.

                  Honestly, you really don't even need a "turbo cam" unless you're looking to make an obscene amount of power. You can most likely make more power than you could use on the street with a completely stock head, and a block built to take the abuse.

                  If you want a turbo cam, Bisimoto has one for you. Took me all of 30 seconds to find, and 27 seconds of that was navigating their infuriatingly inefficiently designed website.

                    deevergote's right. Don't bother polishing or porting the head; the water jackets are pretty tight on there so you can't go wild anyway. Just have it checked out for warping, get it surfaced, and maybe give the valves a little love to make sure they are sealing.

                    Throw on the stock TB, stock F23 IM, stock F23 head, stock cam and it's ready to make ~450whp. Upgraded springs/retainers and a built block and it's good to go.

                      450whp might be pushing it on the stock sleeves. I'm sure it can be done, but it's potentially inviting disaster.

                        If you are still having a tuff time with finding more information on the Bisimoto camshaft profiles give me a shout at the office, 888-922-6686 ext. 3, and I will be more than happy to assist you with a Bisimoto camshaft profile and valvetrain upgrades to meet your goals.
