what exactly is this? Is it where you put a little ange on the corners of the ports? But wouldn't that change port timing just a little? Thanks

Just a really tiny one, man. Like with sandpaper. You just want to get rid of the sharp edge.
OK thanks, that makes more sense. Just smooth it out. I'm planning on pulling my 65 MK off and opening the transfer ports on the block a little and I'll do that at the same time.

The stone ended dremel tools will round out the nikisil edge
round off the top and sides of the exhaust and transfers but not the bottom edge you want to keep that more crisp
what benefits does this give?
craig you beat me to it. I would like to know also.

keeps the engine from eating rings.
Extends ring and thus cylinder life by a bajillion percent.
It eases the ring back into the groove instead of slamming it back.
If this action were a sound it would be like 'swish swish swish, vs. SNAP SNAP SNAP'.
I just put a 65MK on, and the ports were nicely chamfered at the factory. So unless you're enlarging them, I don't think you need to bother.
Uh, I'm going to go ahead and say that MK has NEVER chamfered ports at the factory on ANY of their kits.
You can round off the edges on your rings also but just a little please.
