he didn't answer the question AT ALL
also to make the intake face so thin that the bolt wont hold any more you would probably have cut tooo much off the head to make it work any more... the price of the head is no issue if your building the piece you need pistons would be the way to go but i have run in local roundy round were a stock piston must be used therefore the head must be cut a ton.it does get into the valve cover sealing area but i have yet to have a problem with this issue either.
