When i do heads i put the machinist dye around the ports, lay the gasket over, scribe the outline of the gasket, and then hit it with a carbide burr in a pnumatic dye grinder. I opened up the exhaust ports in a set of late 80s Ford heads in under and hour. Final shaping and getting all of them close took about another hour
