This is a special interest area of mine. Anything you can do for
(virtually) free that raises HP is an area of special interest to me
though!
Here's a link to a good general (not MG specific) free article on head
porting:
http://www.sa-motorsports.com/diyport.htm
Here's a link to an e-book available for download for $39.00. Haven't
read it myself but from the preliminary intro and the testimonials, it
looks like it would be a god source of info.

Here's an MG specific link to an article on "valve seat recession".
Important to understand and to deal with this too when trying to get
more HP and while working on you head.

Finally, from my own bit of wit and knowledge, don't forget the intake
manifold. Just as important to clean it up, open it, match it up and
polish it up.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
Happy Turkey day!

Subject: head porting
Hi guys,
can anyone point me to a web site or teck. manual
about
head porting. Ive rebuilt several M.G. engines with good results but
never
tried porting. Ive got the tools but not the knowledge. The mechine shop
that
boiled, shot peaned and bored the block told me theres nothing to it.
Thats
easy for someone whose done it to say. Ive ordered the gasket from Moss
thats used as a guide.
TIA for any help or information
