Speedmaster spark plug holes improvement??

Agreed. Proper valve job is first on my list. It should be the minimum anyone does even if they are planning on just "bolting them on".
I don't know I think the minimum is just checking them out make sure there's no sticky valves or leaking valves... I think of valve job would be the next step in Improvement.. but we have no side by side comparison on that either just gurus with flow charts...
