What happens here
This step involves a close look at the cylinder heads, revealing handwritten specifications such as "Set 33", "44 1/2 chambers", "259 runners", and an "18-degree valve angle". The speaker explains that typical heads are 23 degrees, meaning these heads were "rolled" to 18 degrees. To achieve this, material was welded to the bottom of the head and then re-machined. Notably, the intake valves "hang" below the head surface, meaning they should never be laid flat on a table to prevent damage.
