My attempt at speedmaster heads and moving the pushrod.

No big updates today, just going along and repeating the ports across the head. A little thing I found to help keep the shapes the same from port to port was a piece of welding wire bent to the profile and use it as a checking gauge. This was very handy in the area where the pinch was removed and heading to the valve as there was a lot of material to remove.

Also put the mcguiver skills to work to help move things along faster. I kept having to stop porting to blow the chips out of the port to see what I was doing, so I attached the end of my shop vac to my magnetic base flashlight. Now as I'm grinding, the chips magically disappear. Lol.

As far as the valve cover bolt boss is concerned, is the general consensus to grind what you need to and just put sealant on those bolts?
