Removed the heads today. Does Edelbrock stamp the MW Victor head with the Max Wedge name any where on the head to clearly distinguish the MW Victor from the Victor? Mine have victor 440 on the end of the head. The piston tops looked a bit dirty and #7 was the worst. #7 intake port is also the cleanest and the chamber looks different from the others as well.

7793 is MW casting; 7791 is standard port
There is a lot of buildup on your intake valve stems, IMO, but not sure from what.

Is that daylight shining between the intake valves and seats, or some sort of reflection?
I’m sure Steve at Total Flow would be happy to do some additional porting on them.

What is your quench?The int ports can show reversion or rich fuel wash I think.I would think a dome piston is better than milling the heads.jmo. Use a dome if you want to make less power, otherwise do yourself a favour and have them angle milled. 0-.300" is possible with these castings. A dowel shift is a ton of work but pays pretty big dividends. I could go on and on. Depends on how serious you are of course just like anything else it comes down to $$$$$$$. J.Rob

Can anyone explain why all the intake ports have a bronze sheen or stain except #7, the one that leaked the most oil. You can spot it in the first pic as it is the one with the puddle of oil? Reversion, but why not #7? This may be a stretch, but maybe the excess oil coated the intake not allowing the carbon to stick, except for the hot intake valve which carboned up? Do you have flow sheets for those heads, they look like they could use more porting.

J.Rob With angle milling the heads he would need to re cut the pistons valve pockets.Correct?
