Frustrated

Thanks for the tip Furry
and agree- why new intake seats at all
and why not do the exhaust seats and guides and rough in the valve job first
'Cause some people don't have the experience of a 'Rider' or a 'Rosey' and have never been exposed to the proper methods. Some people grind right down under the seat into the bowl and ruin the flow in some lifts. Maybe they make the bowl too thin? How much experience does the OP have porting heads? Did he hack out the bowl and grind too far into the head?

No trial, just hang the machinist!
