I've never really looked at a DSM head before this one, how do these ports compare to stock? I know this head is ported, but how much? Are both intake and exhaust ported?

The hot tank cleaned up the valves a TON better than they were, the intakes are shiny SS now with just a little crud. The exhaust valves didn't clean up quite as well.

The guy who did the head cleanup said the lifters and guides were in great shape, and the valve job it has was done very well, so that's encouraging. Got new seals, the old ones were in terrible condition he said. He also cleaned up a few scratches in the intake cam journal.
