Well, ok I see.
Lots of casting impurity can ruin the heads, that is clear, thought it was a disease of high pressure die cast alumium.
Until now I have alsmost touched nothing, made one exh port, and I did not enlarge it I just cleaned it, and I polished the according combustion chamber, on intake nothing touched, I may just clean the throat edges.
Notching the block is something I would have never done, psychologically to hard for me ^^
head can be replaced, I see often some much better than mine to sell on the internet for $500, but a block means another engine.
can you send me this for diagram which show what to be done on the combustion chambers with this 1/4 radiused stone ?
