Remember guys, it's making a lot of power from all that blue paint. That's the secret!

A funny as it is I have seen head notches like that. Although a little more precise. I vaguely remember the details but adding the notches added resistance to detonation and the engine was able to make more power due to higher compression. I am pretty sure it was on Daily Planet on the Discovery channel.

They are called Singh Grooves. I actually read that whole thread O.o
http://www.somender-singh.com/
This link goes into a little more detail about them:
http://somender-singh.com/content/view/135/49/
The technique is more for heads that aren't pent shaped like 4v heads. In other words, it's more for things like old SBC and heart shaped combustion chambers. The theory behind them is that in the high quench areas, the gasses flow through the channel easier then being squished into the CC where the combustion takes place. It kinda made sense to me, but it has no place in a. A 4v head that is designed well and b. a turbo application where the corners would create hot spots perfect for detonation since this tool did't bother rounding them off. I really would like to see how those heads and pistons look now with that said...
Here is my favorite pic... It shows what is causing him to think all this is a good thing:
Paint fumes are his friend
