LS1 ported head help - does this look right?
Need someone with a good eye for porting to let me know if this looks SAFE and reliable..... Looks like a WHOLE lot was taken off.... but what do I know?: Nothing!
I am in the middle of installing these, and need to know if this looks normal before I continue....
Thanks!

TTT - anyone? Got some responses on LS1Tech suggesting that it may be a reasonable looking port.
They were done by Morgan Motor Sports several years ago... just been sitting until I got the bug to actually install.

They look fine if your talking about the lower portion of the guide. With a big cam the side to side pressure of the valve stem on the guide may cause the ends to crack if to thin, but they look OK.

Oh nooo, the nightmares are going to start again!! Talk about the hacker of ALL hackers!
Looks like I'll have to go back and begin therapy sessions again!
Unfortunately, your project is now doomed!
Well, that's my .02!
I sure hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Your very close to AFR's new facility in Valencia....
PM me and for a nominal fee I can look them over and flow one of them for you. I will pour an intake runner as well to see how large the port is (an indication of how efficient it is).
We are closed till the 2nd however so Im not sure if the timeframe is an issue....
Either way good luck and I must also mention that MMS has had their fair share of "questionable situations" here in the So. Cal area.

Hahaha, yes, MMS did it. I can't wait until the 2nd to have them flow tested, so I have resumed the install. We'll see how it goes, the cam is mild (TR 220/220, .553 114), so hopefully the guides can take that 
If it doesn't work out, I'll just pray that it doesn't disintegrate
Thanks to ALL for your responses, I'll finish the job tomorrow morning. And then put some miles on it before having it tuned.
