I'm assuming that's USMC 500's cylinder?
I'll see what I can find tomorrow.

Yes, I thought you used some sort of motorradish style of applicator... the pen

Agreed, rounding is good.
Do you have any pics of your work?
I'm certain we would all like to see them.
I know I would.

I don't know where this work came from but I want to be clear that it is NOT mine.

To be honest I found the clean up work on the cylinder uninspiring 
I also noticed some work the exhaust valves once I got the goo off them.
These warrant a second look as I don't see a lot of modified valves.

Here is a 86 kx500 cylinder that has had some work done to it.
I wish he had pics of the intake area as he may have done some work to the floor ports as well..
