Ray if you get the chance this year try a 2.125 X 7MM intake valve....I think you'll like the results...I'm going to try a putting a vein in the next set of Eagles I do.

I like to polish the entire valve head on the exhaust, it reduces the surface area and increases reflectivity and so keeps the heat retained in the valve down, at least thats my theory.
To do it I just chuck the valve in the drill press and run it on a slower speed, careful not to marr it up and dont grab it where the guide slides at all, then depending on surface texture of valve, start around 220 grit and work my way finer till around 2000 grit and I can see my face reflecting in it.
I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

I love all the in depth information on this forum . I'm gonna have a go at porting my Apache heads ... i'll probably loose 30 hp ! .

So, rolling the short side radius angle towards the intake side of the head has proved to be one of the most effective strategies? Allows the air to start turning around the short side radius earlier correct?
Anybody try welding some taller spring seats in to raise the port roof?

Anybody have any cutaways of the BGE cylinder heads? I'm curious of the thin areas that this cylinder may have compared to the eagle cylinder head.

I have not spent time comparing a sharp vein to one that is wider like in the photo but it seems to get the same results.
There is another thing on the eagles that helps. Machine cut on chamber on intake valve side. None of the Apache heads Ive seen has it Ray can you elaborate on this cut a little?

I haven't forgot to get to this, just haven't had the time to cut up a head, the last one I did cut open was Hellcat head(same ports as the BGE)I sent off to a friend.
