Thanks Bob!
These pics show the relationship
between the valve and its seat.
Back cutting both the intake and
exhaust valves will help flow in all
iron Ford BBF sylinder head
castings. A back cut on the intake
helps primarily at lower lifts.
Valve seat angles should be sharp and
defined. My machinist leaves the 45
degree seat angle .001 higher than the
others to allow for valve to seat
properly
