This is incorrect and misleading because Edelbrock doesn't do any clean up work on there heads but just a basic machining at the port windows.
Nothing more, nothing less.
It has always been said here on the forum that any head should be looked at by a machinist before installing and run.
But! Many, including myself, have run the Edelbrock head OOTB without any problems.
What your untrained eye sees may or may not be accurate in its conclusion. I hope your wrong for only one reason and that would be because of the hope Edelbrock is doing the right thing as they so state. "Ready to run OOTB."
While you have them at the machinists shop for there check up, perhaps some additional work will be done?
Good luck with your build.
