they still have the cylinder, its being ported, but the head was shaved to nothing, rechambered, and if you look closely, o-ringed too, nice work for $25... tony doukas racing in florida:beer

i only see one o-ring groove, whats going to keep the coolant from leaking out?

o ring= i can tear it down and inspect at anytime , no more replacing gaskets, o-rings are reusable
rechambered head= matches there port work
shaved head= alittle more low end torque (something the zilla needs no more of !):lol:

o-rings are only reusable to a point. when they had the head setup to cut that groove they should have just cut an outer groove. it would have saved you even more time from cleaning off the old yamabond and waiting for it to set!
