Well that didn't take long for someone to pick up on the chamfering at the cylinders. As it was explained to me; some heads/ like Lt1 heads have a larger combustion chamber than cylinder. These reliefs allow a smoother transition of intake and exhaust gasses. Most times when the valves are unshrouded and then the heads bolted on the block without the reliefs like have done to mine, the gasses hit that edge and cause turbulence. There you have it! LOL. I have no ideas what I just said!  Heads are factory LT1 heads that were originally ported by Lloyd Elliot two years ago. Jerry just completed the port matching and did some resurfacing of the intake and exhaust runners and smoothed the transition area out where it was not to his liking. Rods are Eagle I-Beam and Pistons are forged Sealed Power. I'm not sure what the deck height came out to, but I know he shaved enough to take the serial no. off the block. I'll finish this later... gotta run |
