RHS flow data from today...

Okay, maybe this will read better: "I've seen FOUR differnet shops in different areas of the country report 270-ish out of these heads, including the guy we got the heads from. But the only way we got 273, was a slight de-shrouding of the chamber and a quick guide trimming...AND without the plug. There must be something wrong with our bench, as it doesn't agree with anyone else's".

I'm done. Sorry if I offened anyone, that wasn't the case. I wasn't IMPLYING anything about anyone. I just come here to share info and learn, not stir up ****, but sometimes I guess that's not possible.

Look, by saying "We were then wondering how other benches are reporting 270-ish and then it dawned on us: Flow them WITHOUT a spark plug...duh..." you are implying that others are not flowing the heads properly or even fudging #'s. I don't take offense, because you didn't get them from me. Infact on Moparts I tried to give you some insight on what we do and maybe something you did was wrong?
I wasn't trying to compare this thread with wiping my ***....I was showing that to flow a head without a plug....would be about as stupid as not wiping your *** after you crap. That's all. In other words....the test is invalid and a waste of time and not worth anything.
I thought you would have liked my sense of humor....LOL!
