Port/Polish

Anyone here port and polish their own heads before? Was interested in doing them, wondering how difficult it is.

yes I had saw that before. I really don't want to spend the money to have a shop port stock heads. I want the Aussie heads, but can't spend the money for them now. So I guess I will just try my luck with the stock heads and see what I come up with thanks,

It can cost you big time if you get too carried away. Open up the throats around the valve seat, grind down the exhaust hump (assuming you have one), get a 3 angle valve job. Maybe gasket match the exhaust port to your manifold?
