Re: Head porting Experts Advice

I would get them surfaced on all three mating surfaces and a valvejob because pic 4 looks like you nicked a seat.

The scratch in pics 1 ans 2 in the chamber I would feel fine about just lightly cleaning up so they are not sharp, pic 5 goes into the gasket sealing area.

The intake surface nicks you might be able to seal with silicon but since the deck nicks require a trip to the machine shop why not do it right and get that cut too.

Keep us informed how it turns out, looking forward to hearing results.

all of that roughness in the chambers can be smoothed out it is called polishing the combustion chambers. So go do all of them!!
