I don't remember who it was at metric I talked with. The guy seemed like he was in a huge hurry and had a muffled voice..in a nutshell he said talk to you that your engine is awesome. I was a bit dissapointed in the phone service honestly. I may have just caught him at a bad time.

Anyway, I am going to have a local speed shop do the cleaning and machine work on the head. I will ask them their thoughts on porting the head to see if they know where to grind.

You are correct about the m44 crank, it is NOT forged. That worries me too I am not 100% sure I will use it. I may stick with the stock m42 forged or spring for the m47.
