Wow that looks better than the job I did!
I like how the exhaust valve is unshrouded. You might want to (I hope you already did...) take a head gasket and make sure it doesn't overlap the place you cut away.
You might want to smooth out the small ridge under your exhaust valve seat insert. There's also what looks like a little ridge farther down on the right side, you might want to smooth that out too.
Just to make sure, you did get rid of the emissions bump on the top of the exhaust ports toward the back, right? I guess we need a pic looking down the exhaust port.

Thansk rusty.. but the thanks go to this group.you rock.
no emmissions bump on 1960 heads. and the casting is thicker on 60 heads so this time i didnt go to far.
the schrouding around the exhaust valve is at max. someone here said something abuot it so ,i had it done. now to cc the heads and find a good shim gasket. I am useing 10 to 1 pistions with a deck heigth of .020 and would like to keep the comp around 10 /1.

on the exhaust side, a set of 68 cjs almost cryed....
so in the exh side do not mess with the inside curve ... if you do polish only
do not remove more than enough to get a shine

My dad hit his waterjacket on the intake side. I think it is the first and last port that has the waterjacket close to the port. Don't go very low.
Lucky for him I had an extra set of heads he could use.
