I don't taper the entire top of the bore just where it's needed where the chambers overhang.
Here's a crude drawing to show what I'm talking about.

This is some good info.I was wanting to go with a GN1-R Head I thought they where only Tall ports. I see you talking about a .030 over bore. Can this be done
on a .010 or .020 over bore block? I have a Stage 1 block and did not want to have the block bored over .020 because it has never been bored. I do want to
go to a bigger Vavle heads and 14 head heads. Looks like from the pictures I would have to do alot of Tapering work at top of the block on a .020 over block.
Can this be done on a .020 over block has any done this on a .020 block with these GN1-R heads?. I wanted to use my stock ported intake with a set of GN1-R?
How much better do the GN1-R heads flow race ported than the GN1 race ported any flow numbers to compare these two heads?
