[HEADWORK] Port Match and Polishing

[Larry" <rocco16v@netzero.com (Larry)]

Jason-  Do a port-match and a rough polish (I know that sounds oxymoron-ish,
but you know what I mean) and call it good.  You can do this yourself.
A full porting job is an expensive, exact science and will only give you a
decent return-on-investment when you are going after that last few, high-rpm
horsepower.
