Steve,

I disagree with part of that. Especially the part about not doing it yourself For example, I successully match ported the intake and exhaust ports, removed and smoothed the cast flashing from the runners, cleaned up the bolwes, cleaned and polished the combustion chambers and pretty much rounded out any obstructions. I didn't do much material removal at all. I did however (and this is pushing the envelope a little) was smooth down the splitter between the ports, i.e. like the Subaru big port heads. I smoothed down until each one was an identical depth, width, and contours. This part was pushing it without a flow bench but I had the heads completely disassembled and so I went for it. As soon as it's running again I don't expect any issues (and, if I do I won't tell you )

Also, I bet Quirt started somewhere himself. He probably started small and worked his way up with confidence.
