I had to get my engine rebuilt (it sucked a spark plug electrode into the cylinder) and while it was apart the mechanic did a bit to the heads. Maybe worth 2 or 3 hp.

The main point he did make though is that the heads are pretty hot from the factory so there wasn't much more he could do. Not like porting a Ford 289.....

I used to live in Grand Terrace and still have friends in Redlands. Breath lightly!
