Before I put this engine back together, I want to clean up the ports--just a little. I plan nothing extreme. I have been playing around on an extra head I have.
I have a 1" ball steel cutter. With just a few minutes' work, I can get it past the bottom of the valve guide and clean up the flashing in the port so that the 1: cutter gets into the intake "manifold, or the exhaust port by gasket flange.
How much on the protruding valve guide can I safely remove? The Falcon HiPo book looks like I take cut it6 flat with the top of the port. Is that safe?
