I read in force feds thread that they only offer the cnc headwork on heads that have not been ported. It said its to avoid hitting one of those pockets. That they had to put a bunch of time into developing it to make sure they don't. While still offering an awesome job.

I am glad to hear that AMS would step up discontinue it. Once they knew there was an issue.

Stop taking the guide boss out completely on the exhaust port, or enlarging the port at the flange, only asking for trouble there.

Easy fix

Problem solved!
