First 8 pics show tools and restrictors installed. Go in with a 3/8-16 starter tap to stay square on the hole. After a few rounds go in with the bottom tap to finish the threads. I used 3/8-16 short set screws. Recommended hole size is .090 but I went slightly larger with a 3/32 carbide drill. This gives you a .09375 hole. Close enough for Govt. work.

Nice job Jim. I guess if I ever do another head job, I'll thread mine too. For now the flaired tube restrictors are working fine, but that looks soooooo much better.

Still want those medium riser valves?

Yes, I would like to take them to the shop when I go. That way he can see what they are and go from there.
