Re: Quench, or lack there of

Make sure the valves have a break ( rounded edges) from the chamber face to the start of the seat, especially the Exh valve as these can make for detonation.

Re: valve lift loss?

If on a 23 degree Head the valve inclination angle was shifted to 21 degrees I don't think you would be able to cut or grind a valve seat back into the chamber!

Re: Pro filer 290 vs Trick flow 280

The trick flows may be 10 CCs smaller , but by there flow numbers they more a good amount more air in the all important .300" to .400" lift range. If you get them and do not have a flow bench to guide your porting rework then I would not touch a thing about them! Getting fat flow numbers d...
