[Mgs] MGB alloy cyl heads

[Dodd, Kelvin]

Matt:

The alloy heads were not intended to give performance improvement, but
they do seem to give a tiny bit more pep as supplied.

If you look into the ports you can see some places where the port
machining meets the as cast valve chamber. There are some sharp edges
that can be easily cleaned up with a dremel tool to make the heads flow
a bit better. That's one of the nice things about aluminium, it's easier
to do clean up on than cast iron.
