If i was to buy another one i would work the slot by other means and use his tool as a go no go guage so you know when your done and dont get any surprizes after the head is already on

Yea on the 400 in the 81 TA I THOUGHT I had ground enough! Had already torques heads down. Had to stay with 1.5s. I used Spotts tool on another set of heads-not used yet and it takes a lotmore in the middle-where my grind job failed. A drill press and some angled shims can get it done , a Bridgeport would be easy to get the angle right.
