More work on the head. This time gasket matching the exhaust ports. The manifolds match the gasket to the T but the ports in the head are noticeably smaller. In the pic you can see the carbon ring around an untouched port. This ~4mm ring represents how much smaller than the manifold that the port is.
This is just a lot of tedious time spend with a carbide cutter. I opened up the ports to match the gasket and then blended back towards to valves. Using a small spring loaded bore gauge allowed me to keep the ports a consistent size. I didn't touch the bowls or the SSR.
Next step is dropping the head off at my machinist for a skim cut and a valve job.
