My head has been cleaned and smoothed and polish. Is there any real gains on to do a gasket match. Can we go that deep or will it open up into cooling spots. Just looking for some info. Thanks

You might gain a tad port matching but the gains are deeper in. You can open them up pretty good, but if your doing a mild port job, you won't hit water.

Thanks for the info. I figured i could do it while the head is off. The place that did the work before did more work aroud the valves.
Be VERY careful if you gasket match, that the gasket isn't way different from what you actually have... Some early heads had BIG ports, and matching that would ruin the head... Any way you go, it shouldn't require too much material to be removed.
