what do you guys think? I need to do some more finesse work but I think they came out great for a first timer.

Not bad at all, I would polish the closing line like a strip of chrome. This to eliminate side seal wear.

did you make a picture of the RB template laying over the original port size for comparison? I would be really interested to see that match.



Please send it to speedworks@pandora.be



Many thanks

Neal

Unfortunately, I did not. The amount of porting is pretty slight. I think that it was actually pretty easy. It's true what they say about it being more like art. I used to do a lot of airbrushing and the same skill sets apply. Thanks for the advice lynn, I will surely put it to use.

i agree. they came out great for a first-timer. as you said, a little more work to smooth the surfaces a bit more and you'll be good to go.

I will hopefully start porting the exhaust today, if I can just muster up some damn motivation after work. There is an on going battle between my couch and my motor. The couch has been kicking my motors *** for the last 3 weeks.

Nice job. Doing my 3rd ported motor now and I was wondering how far towards the center(shaft opening) is safe to port and worthwhile?

None!!....dont port any closer towards the E-shaft than it is stock.



You'll be porting into the Oil control rings path and it would make no difference.
