Someday in the future , a man like myself that is researching Air Flow Research heads in particular the 315's for his build , needs to see these pics . Got a present from Marine Kinetics today and took these pics straight out of the shipping box . A picture does speak a thousand words !!! Straight down the exhaust port with an Inconal Tulip Valve at the bottom .
Combustion chamber almost looks hand polished .
Intake side of things .
And I wanted to add that only a top notch company would package their product in such a manner to protect it from careless UPS employees . The damage shown here would have surely resulted in a damaged aluminum head .

That's a pretty good looking cast port.

Although they say nothing about seat widths they do mention vgc in the literature as follows : Our typical valve guide clearances are .0013 - .0016 . In some severe applications ( nitrous , marine endurance racing or blower usage ) looser guides might be required . Check with your engine builder .

My next set of heads I will be buying bare and having my head guy assemble them, check guide clearances, check valve job ...
