Thanks, Brian. You've explained what O_D mentioned.

Along with the perceived lowering of overall quality starting with the 22nd series cars that others have lamented in various publications I guess they were really starting to cut back on expensive or time consuming procedures with the advent of the 48s. My 21st 47 head looks like it went thru some kind of finishing process -- maybe something like a belt sander went around the edges smoothing and rounding. I know later engines and one 53 in particular that I spent way too much time around and got overly familiar with had edges on the head that were sharp enough to break the skin if one got careless. I think I found every one of those sharp edges during my time with that engine.
