I am pleased with my Kennedy engine but only for the price. I received the cylinder second hand for a HELLOVA deal.
Looking at the porting, honestly, I did better at my house with a few air tools. It's not as bad as some of the pictures I've seen of Kennedy's fine work (AWK insert uneven intake bridge picture here) but I think mine actually is smoother, better matched, and easier flowing. For a professional, he sure doesn't spend any "extra" time making it look like he cares about what it looks like. I personally, would not send out some of the stuff he did....
To the OP, I think it's funny he took the time out of his day to screenshot AWK and put it on his flikr account. Tells me AWK got under his skin more than Kennedy lets on. I doubt seriously anything Kennedy says would bother AWK at all, he'll just brush it off as babble...
