You can polish the 128 as well as they are aluminum. The difference is in the exhuast port, the 113 have a raised D-exhuast port that flows better than the 128.

Don't bother with the 128's since 113's are pretty cheap anyway. The 113's have greater power potential.

The mistake in my build was to have my 128's lightly worked over and had 2 x 1.56 valves and 1,6 pro mag RR's. I know that they are a bottleneck in my setup now after a few years of trying a few things.

i think the 89's were the first year for the 113 heads, and continued to the 91's. i put flat top pistons, with the valve relief trough, in my 89 and bumped the compression to about 11.4, a tad bit much for pump gas.

Actually cleaning up the outsides of the heads was pretty easy. Only took a couple of afternoons of work w/ my dremel tool & porting/sanding rolls. Cleaning up the ports & combustion chambers took much longer. Of course I needed to be careful & keep things even & to a minimum. The results though speek for themselves.
