Isky use to sell valve (not sure if they still do or not shruggy) notching tools for increasing the width and depth of the valve pockets in the pistons in the motor for 3/8 and 11/32 valve guides. The tool had a round shaft that went through the valve guide with a square tip on one end and a cutter that would fit into that guide, using an electric drill motor on the guide would make the cutter notch the piston tops wrench up
I ended up marking the guide with tape above the valve guide the amount I wanted to increase the valve notches, IE .020 to ? to whatever was needed scope
