Perhaps that works?

Kevin ... an excellent article on head technology. Many thanks.

The head on my TF was enhanced 55 years ago. I didn't do too much.

Biggest single item was to match capacities in all chambers. Upped the C/R with a few light passes of the milling machine, to allow for the increase in octane between 1954 and 1965. Didn't remove the flame divider but I did "sharpen" the input port divider.

I used to check the head for dimensions, and it always seem to be good.

Despite many rebuilds (my TF has over 350,000 miles on it), the car still runs well.
