Default Diamond Cutting

Has anyone had their heads or cylinder fins diamond cut? If so, who did the job and are you satisfied with the result?

Shooter, a little while ago I asked you a question about diamond cutting and you responded that there is a new cut called a double diamond cut. Do you know where I can get information or a picture of this new cut? Thanks

Was just informed that the Harley motor has fins that are too thin to handle a double diamond cut.
