Speedmaster heads part 2. Plus intake work

Not a lot to show but I have made some progress. By now I know Edelbrock, Speedmaster heads pretty well so instead of grinding on one port, flow testing, grinding some more, testing I went ahead and finished all the pushrod pinch and head bolt hump removal on this whole head. Here’s a few pictures and a few of the short turn which is nice but small from the factory. You can see that just by removing the headbolt hump and pushing the pushrod wall over the whole way to the bowl the short side is also forming. I’ve done zero shaping of it so far. All I do is I hit every part of the port from the entry to the bowl with a burr to remove the factory casting. I will also remove any bad casting work in the bowl and shape the casting around the valve guide. I do the whole port because when I place my 15.00 Walmart lights in various places the whole port shines and lights up better than the factory casting that is dull. While I’m grinding one port I sometimes see something even on another port that I missed. I’m out of my favorite Edelbrock intake Gaskets so I opened the entrance up some but it looks like I have about .015-.025 to go and will finish that up next week when they come from Summit.
