I can't recommend the shop that did my head work until I see how it performs.

Extrude Honing is a great technological advancement, and definatly has it's place, but isn't exactly the hot ticket on this head. Because of the shape of the runners, and the fact that the valve guides intrude on them, extrude honing would be less effective than average port work.

Also, since the head is rather small when compaired to automotive applications, it's easy to see that tools can reach any place in these intake or exhaust tracts.

A good port man will have templates of the ideal port size and shape, that way he isn't going to have to rely on just his "eye" to get things consistant.
