Thanks for the tip, Jim
 
    Having street ported my engine myself, it appears I simply lucked out as I "rounded" the port's edge as the guy suggests but did it because I felt a smooth radius would disrupt airflow less than a sharp edge.  Didn't even consider the side seal as a potential problem.

Just wanted to share what appears to be excellent tips on porting if you are so inclined. Be sure to read about side seal clearancing Pictures are very good.  You might want to bookmark the site.  http://www.nopistons.com/forums/index.php?showforum=81
