Anybody ever trim some of the extra casting out of one of these? Seems excessive, and extra heavy. I was thinking of leaving the tubes tied together at the head mount surface, but cutting out the majority of that webbing in between runners. Curious if anyone had tried this. Sent from my...

I'm pulling my head to do studs. While it's off I'm gonna get it surfaced and a valve job. I just ordered some parts to bring the power up by a lot. I've been warned a few times about 2003 valve seats dropping out and wrecking the engine. Should I have the seats staked? Is there a better fix? I...
