Hey I think every car guy should try it at least once, on a scrap head. You may fall in love with learning the art and enjoy the results and money saved. I know I did.
It was enjoyable at first, went at it full bore making chips like crazy. But later as I was sipping my well-earned beer I realized I had to duplicate the effort 15 more times! That was an epiphany, kinda like "aaaahhhh, that's why these head porter guys make the big bucks..."
I definitely went too far in some places, the head I worked on will need to be cut for larger valves for starters.
Plus my nice Dumore grinder seems to to have crapped out on me. Rainy day project when all my other junk is squared away.
In any event, I would like to see how well some nicely massaged 576 heads would perform in an appropriate application. I think they are good for a stout street engine if you endeavored to use ancient tech iron heads.
