Looks like a perfect place for detonation to start...and direct it towards the center of the piston to burn a hole straight though it..
but what do I know.....
If you can run simulation numbers, try this one:

With an rpm range just a little higher than the hyd. you linked, I bet it would make a bunch more power, comparitively.
Don't let the solid scare you, if you adjusted them once a year that would be plenty for an off-roader.
With the solid flat -tappet cam I have in my Vette, every time I check it, I question myself why did I just go through that again, and I rev that very often to 6500+. If your not looking for every last ounce of hp, I don't think you need to worry about checking them but once a year at most.

there used to be a big lifter issue with comps lifter (which I am running) so I adjust mine 2 times a year. With all the new direct lube and high endurance lifters I wouldn't be as concerned. I am going to swap my lifters for GMPP 572 720hp lifters (cranes) when I swap on the brodix RR ovals.
I'm not sure
They are take outs from a company that did NAVY contracts. I believe they are new or have been barely used.
As far as cheap, it would be 200 for the lifters and cam
Did you end up grinding down the valve guides?
I assume you still need to get the valve angles cut?
I wonder if you should unshroud the intake on the flat side of the comb. chamber?
I'm no head porter, but they look good.

Yeah I ended up making them a cone shape
Yes, he is going to bore them out for the larger valves and do the 5 angle valve job
On the intake valve, I unshrouded the one side a bit with the carbide and smoothed it out. The part by the smooth side doesn't seem to be shrouded, The heads have been milled down and I'll take a look before I give it him. I may have to hit it with the flapper wheel, maybe I'm not done grinding
Thanks, neither am I
Heres another pic of the part you mentioned that was early on in the porting job.
Actually maybe scratch that, I think I may grind some more on the exhaust side
I plus I was looking and apparently you can get 40 grind rolls, I would rather have a rougher finish, I think the rolls I used were 60
I spoke too soon.

remember, exhaust side, smoother is better...
