Identifying a ported and polished head



If the head is P & P'd then the intake and exhaust ports and the area
under the valve head would show some evidence of
grinding/cutting/polishing. If it's a cast finish inside the ports then
it's stock.

Am I correct in assuming that a P&P head would be smooth in the area behind the intake valves (instead of the usual rough casting finish), or am I totally wrong about what P&P means?
