What is going to happen to the seats in the head? Are they now cut larger to accomodate the larger valves? Sounds like the head guy might have to fork out the cash for new castings too.

The valve was only 0.006" off; easy to fix.

Hey Bret...what's the latest? Haven't heard from you in a long time!!

Hey Evan...

Your lesson is not without merit. I've got a set of heads I've pondered having a local machine shop perform. But I don't have to guess anymore. Something to be said about spending the additional $$ WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE.

Many of us Ford racers still look up to you with great respect and understand nobody is perfect. Keep up the good work dude!!
