			Aha! So that explains why I had to have slight amount shaved from my heads, immediately above where the valves lift. Without doing that, the valves would/could have struck the edges of the underside of the relief in the head. Knew there must have been a reason why that became an issue. The French blocks must have been 42 or later in valve design?
