He just said "if we could only get the ports as big as this". Clearly it's not your head. And an LSJ head doesn't look like that.

Lol. The reason its taking so long is because I haven't had much spare cash to buy up wut else is needed as well as pay Jr. Took a few vacations. Now that that's over with I should b able to get back on this. Might've been done earlier but I bought some stance coils a couple months back that r stil waiting to go on
