Richard, I do not know about the rest, but my statements are based purely on person to person discussions with division tech guys who I know personally and respect, and with Bruce Bachelder.

The idea that you cannot appeal a division level decision on heads is something I have yet to see proven, as I have seen exactly that done.

Again, my biggest problem, and I will not mention by name the division people who told me this, is that you cannot get a definitive answer in writing about vave jobs. I asked specifically about a radius seat valve job, since stock angles are no longer required. I was told maybe, maybe not, depending upon whether the tech inspector involved felt that it "looked right on that head". That's a bogus answer. If we are no longer restricted to stock seat angles, nor restricted on the number of angles, it does not matter if it "looks right", a radius seat is either legal or not. Or at least it should be either legal or not.
