Valves&Heads

I'm about to have the heads removed and worked
are there any tweaks to do while I'm in there to
get horsepower added?

Valves normally have 1 angle cut into them (I forget - 45 degrees?) that meets the valve seat in the head (which has an identical angle so the 2 seal perfectly) when the valve shuts. A multiangle valve job will cut more angles (at least 2) into the valve sealing surface so that instead of looking like this:

.. . . .\

... the angle will be more rounded off, which will improve airflow. (man, was it tricky doing ASCII art )

I'm mad impressed!!!!!! yeah, my jeep had a 4 angle valve job done it. i hear you can do a 5 now but it depends on the number of valves. the more valves, the more noticeable this will be.
