you can do alot, dont get greedy remove a little at the time basically remove the roughness in the head, Then comes the bowl you can touch up on this with a common dremmel tool BUT be careful, I did several Race quads that I had and made a good gain, I also did my first set on my truck before getting them CNCed and oversized valves put in BUT I still have yet to do a dyno.

do alot of reading on the net...some place have the "special" attachments you can buy to get the job done a little easier and some have a some what how to on their sites.

Right on Brett - I wanted to try my own heads also but didnt have the balls. Hopefully you are able to pull it off with good results!! Post some in process pics if you decide to get into it.

Even if you do fuck them up (which you shouldn't as long as you don't go crazy) atleast you won't be out any money.
