Re: Ok I am porting my 289 heads

Yes, inside the chamber.

I have never seen a pair of those heads, but the De-shrouding has it's best effect when the valve is opening and closing.

While it is lifting or seating, only 5/8ths of the valve is unrestricted. Once it is past 1/2 way open the valve shrouding effect starts to decrease.

But be sure, if it looks like a restriction, then it probably is. Just a little rounding off of the corners is all it takes to de-shroud. Wish I had a good photo to share.

Open chamber heads are not as bad for shrouding as the quencher chamber heads I show in my photos.
