302 head progress and questions
So after watching all 3 of mopar officials videos and a few other videos and reading, I spent time in the bowls. Opened them up some and smoothed them out pretty well. I struggled with the guides and didn’t grind them down much. Just really struggled to get them grinding in a way I could gain consistency so I decided to just lightly grind and focus on the other areas. With how the bigger valves were cut, it was difficult to grind on the chamber side without damaging the seat. I nicked a seat or two during the process. I ended up just doing some light deshrouding on the chamber side.not sure it’ll even make a difference tbh. Forgive me if I’m using incorrect terms and feel free to correct me. Dropped them off at machinist and I’m having the 3 angle valve job done based on yalls recommendations. Pics not the greatest. I’m probably 18 hours into the heads. I’ve pulled a good amount of material out in areas based on recommendations. Hoping it translates to HP. Also opened up the ends of my performer intake on the walls and roof where it narrows down for 318 chambers.
