The gradual angle before and after the valve sealing area reduces turbulance so flow is increased. It also helps un-shroud the valve. A nail head shaped intake valve takes up less room in the flow path vs; a tulip shaped valve. Matching the manifolds to ports reduces restriction and turbulance. So does grinding off rough casting flash and sharp/abrupt machined edges around the valve guides. All this adds a little more "free" HP even in the most modest of engines. No rebuild should ever be done without doing a fresh re-grind on the cam to true it and the lifters up as well. A wee bit of a custom cam grind can really wake up some engines. As previously stated the old suction cup and lapping compound is only a trouble shooting tool. Square true seats/valves cannot be made with lapping compound.
