my buddy is trying this on his lawn mower, I'll report our findings! But actually it is pretty cool. I wonder if it does anything?

There was a big discussion on this of another forum I frequent. General consensis was that this could work, but I don't know of anyone who has done any independant testing.

I have read alot about this on other forums. Interesting theories. Supposed to promote total combustion to all areas of the combustion chamber. I believe this will work best as the quench gets tighter.

yea, this was brought up once before.
Also it definately leads to increased chance of cracking.

I never thought about the increased chance of craking. I was wondering if the grooves would creat a sharp area to promote detonation. Will the edges of the groove get hot and start glowing? Probably more likely on iron heads I suppose....

I have read about them before . They are calle danti reversion grooves. Used on single plane intakes , and with big overlap cams. It's been around for along time...before that guy did it anyhow.
