SM Head Modifications on a budget

Big difference.

Where would you say most of the gain in area came from?
Head bolt bulge taken all the way to the brass tube. Roof raised (too far actually) and clayed back up. Cyl center wall pushed out (too far again) then clayed/epoxied back. Corners squared up. No intentional floor lowering other than when necessary to square the corners out. Squared up means 1/4" radius from 1/2" tooling.
