They can be checked pretty quickly and cleanly if you use your head. Me a check with a bore gauge would probably be sufficient to satisfy me. The valve set up in the head start to develop interference problems if you get much more aggressive with the ramps. They really don't like big duration numbers, lift seems to help the most. The other thing is racers should be less involved with engine modifications and more involved with racing.
