I missed that. Pics would be nice if we're going to document an issue.
From what I've seen, the greatest issues with the WoodlandPro kits has been combustion chamber/squish shape, and exhaust port shape. Many kits are showing up where the squish is tapered reverse from what it should be. In other words, it's tigher at the edge of the combustion chamber than the cylinder wall. Some have been bad enough to be unusable. They actually hit. Those were all pitched. The last ones I saw have a beautifully machined, perfectly shaped squish and combustion chamber. I'm talking a work of art here! They are improving.
The next biggest problem is the exhaust port shape. Most are either flat, or even convex. They really need to get a curved exhaust port roof and floor if they want to avoid catching rings.
I so desperately want these kits to be what they can be. There's no reason these kits can't be cast with close to ideal port timings and shapes. This last 066BB is nearly there. Widen the intake port and you'll have a screamer. A modder's going to want to widen the transfers as well. I've given a fair amount of input on these kits, and I've seen some of it become reality. Unfortunately, these changes take time. That's just the way it is.
