An honest question,  All these cylinder head flows got me thinking.

When the flow rate of a cylinder head is tested, does the exercise replicate
the existence of a cylinder wall shrouding the valves?  If not, I would be
suspect of any comparison of an inline valve configuration as compared to
the Cleveland's canted valve arrangement.  As we know, the Cleveland offers
the advantage of minimizing cylinder wall interference to flow as the valve
extends into the head.
