A Gas Flowed Cylinder head, is where the Inlet ports and outlet ports on the cylinder head have been modified to allow the gases ( Air and Petrol Mixture) to enter the cylinder bores of the engine, in larger volumes and more directly and to exhaust the burnt gases in larger volumes and quicker. The result is a free reving engine ( well better reving than before)

It is done by griding and polishing away at the inlet and oulet ports to make them smooth bigger and take out anything that obstructs the gas flow into the engine. This can be the end of the valve stems, a sharp turn in the inlet or oulet port. The process sounds quite simple but a lot of sicence can go into it to obtain the best flow.

:) Thanks for explanation Steve.
So, nothing new and as pictured at the known Andrews modification site.

Learning never ends :)
I hope that Mr Alzheimer allows me to remember it the next time ;-)
