Re: Head Porting

All the way through what.  It fully bridges between the two valves but it
appears that piece of material is pressed in there or something and isn't
part of the casting.  The casgint below seems fine.  
	THe way I read your message it seems like I'm fine.
Hey, do I need NEW valves if I want to get a valve job or can they grind
the old ones???
	Thanks
