Two things I am going to do (Unless someone tells me Different) is to take my Rubber Abrasive wheel and take the Sharp edge off the "Straight edges" between the 2 Intake Valves and 2 Exhaust valves! (Maybe round the edge about 1/16 of an inch to takes away the only thing I see that could get Hot!)

The engine has always run good until I got Stupid!

The second thing is I felt a few Buckets that had nicks on the bottom edges that I am also going to use the runner Abrasive wheel on. I think that came from the time I was using some JE Pistons that hit the valves and did damage and this is something I missed

Vincent, there is a small amount of flow to be had by removing the cutter marks around the seat from cutting the seat shelf in the chamber. The flow increase is only at very low lift but yea, its worth doing. You can also open the chamber up for your bore increase. This also helps flow. After you do any chamber work you should CC the chambers so you know how much to cut the head when your done.

Well, you have answered my question about rounding the edges of the head between the Valves, but for anything else, no time to do it correctly. When over the winter and the gears are out being matched for the OD Drive then I will have more time! Thanks
