Mark:
You are indeed correct, I meant "coup de grace".
While not intending to offer a death blow to my LBC, I do intend
to offer a death blow to this project, ending it completely.
My garage has been terminally messy all winter, and
is begging for a mercy killing =:-)
Perhaps the reference to "grease" was a Freudian slip?

Hi Vance:
I think you mean "grace", not "gras". Gras is fat or grease. We have enough
of that dripping from the cars already without adding more oil leaks to the
head. :^)
However seeing that the definition of Coup de Grace is:
Coup de Grace - n. (k|-de-'grds) - a death blow or shot administered to end
the
suffering of one mortally wounded [French - literally, a "blow of mercy"].
...
I must ask, are you really trying to finish off the poor car? :^)
Cheers,
Mark

Bob:
Get a three angle valve job, back cut the intake valves with
a 30 degree angle, and cut down the intake valves so that they
are no longer "tulip" shaped valves, but rather are matched
with the exhaust valves for profile. Oh yeah, pocket port the
head too. Don't bother with a gasket match, according to David
Vizard the power will go DOWN. Radius the valve margins for that
added "coup de gras".
If you are really anal, swirl polish the valve with some
fine emery cloth.
As with many things on our car, you are limited only by
MONEY, and we all put our cars ahead of trivial things like
money, right?
