Does look very good. Do you "knife edge" the b-fly valve though? Looks flat in pic.

It's not much work. I just took a permanent marker around the leading edge and took it to the grinder. Leave a trace of that marker and that way you know it's still round and should still idle fine. Takes a few minutes since it's taken all apart anyway.....and yes, it probably makes .01 hp.
