(BTW: I know the condition of the rotor housings, dont worry, theyre being sent out to be resurfaced and ceramic coated)

Wow, great to hear such things from Ito himself.



Martin: Im going to go ahead and get the cermet coating, only on the housings. I was considering using Revvin but he said his wont fix apex seal damage, mine has some chatter so im gonna go with JHB.



The pics were taken by Kahren after he ported the motor, so credit goes to him.



anywho thanks for the comments, think itll be good enough to spool my t78?

I thought an early open port needs a bevel on the closing edge to protect the side seals.

the entire edge of the ports is beveled, slightly, not too visible in the pics.
