Head porting help

I'll be doing a light porting and chamber buff on a spare head that I have.

Does anyone have a couple of old/junk intake & exhaust valves they'd be willing to part with? I'd certainly pay for postage.

Should I unshroud the exhaust valves a wee bit?

Thanks for lookin'!

Thanks, JLM. I've been watching that thread for at least 10 months, and I've pored over Larry's web site, reading every article he's written, and printed all his MINI head pix as big as possible... While I've got a good eye, a steady hand, and some decent tools, I have no hope of creating something as special as he's doing... especially on my first attempt.

Before I start grinding, I just want to make sure I don't take things too far and hurt rather than help.

Still lookin' for some junk valves, though.
