not without crawling under the car and taking some picts which I will try later this week it will only show the bottom and the tin i cut back to let more air flow over the head. but when i did it years ago i was amazed how much flashing was there. in between the spark plugs there were channels for the air to flow through and they were practical fully closed so air was only travelling on the outside of the cyl heads nothing in between them you will have to take the tin and manifold off to see it and file away to open them up.

So, aside from a basic cleaning to get all the oil and dirt out, you actually removed metal from the fins?

Did you basically approach it like polishing each fin the get better air flow?
And you removed a portion of the bottom tin, or is that the rear piece??
