Just a little insight to the production of heads. My buddies at Brodix tell me that a fresh core box will produce heads that are on spec. I assume that means port location & cc's because they say at the end of a production run the core boxes are showing wear & the port volumn will be smaller than designed. I would think the same applies to any automaker produced heads. The Design/R&D guys at Brodix have used the term "Filed" core when talking about producing a bigger runner head. Hey, the pattern maker has a bad day on Monday & the molds are off spec. He sobers up by Wed and is feeling good so he makes some molds over spec. At that time of original design & production little did they know that the quality of their work & a few CC's would mean so much to racers.
