OK, here are some better pics. I had pulled all of the timing covers for my (someday, someday, someday) engine build, along with that small "cam bracket."







^ Bracket looks smooth in parts because I've been taking off the casting lines & imperfections, so that I can get it powder coated along with other parts.

I believe best practice is to match the top of the exhaust port with the header gasket [highest flow area] and leave the step mis-match at the bottom of the port for anti-reversion?

There isn't much to work with... most of my improvements take place inside... but on some heads..... that is why I worked with SV2 to help design the copper exhaust gasket - http://www.sv3power.com/store/index.php?...cts_id=217

Not only is it bigger, but part of the design was moving the bolts holes down (or exhaust ports up) by .020"

How it looks/fits....


But this head isn't going to see that much exhaust port work....



more to come....
