[HEADWORK] Port Match and Polishing

[rick@brubakerbox.com (Rick Alexander)]

Oh boy you asked for opinions, look out.

My opinion, would be that you should at least take the opportunity to match
port and polish. This doesn't require a flow bench like opening up the
ports. Besides you could do it yourself, see
