Raising the roof on porting heads
How high can you raise the roof when porting heads? I plan on only removing casting flash from the floor and sides but I was wondering if I can take about .010 off the roof.
Also planned is a bowl blend and removing the lip around the valve seats.

generally shooting from the hip is not a good practice when porting heads, while it sounds easy enough it is actually very easy to do more harm than good
if you dont know what your doing i recomend leaving this to the pros

Yep, I think the pros arethe best choice. I've practiced on a few dummy heads and I feel comfortable with a grinder, but I'll leave it to them.
Thanks for the advice guys.

Yeah, I wouldn't feel as comfortable until I had a few cross-sections cut out to measure thickness. Although I have access to a flow-bench, it would still take a few more trial and errors to get the flow and velocity where I'd want it.
Both AI and Lloyd Elliot have good reputations. I'll likely leave the heads to them.
