As some of you know I have all girls. They were all raised around rotaries. Loren is my oldest and before she left to college she did some engine porting and building at my shop before i closed it. Sierra is next. Here I have some pics of her porting at age 11. She is 12 years old now. Sierra is also a serious rotorhead. She wants a Jr Dragster with a 1 rotor engine... Sierra also will be drag racing in the future. Loren my oldest will be racing in the nopi all motor class with me all year.. plus she's going to deal with college..



Sierra is also a natural when it comes to porting..

Hey Judge,

Is that center plate for a Turbo or N/A motor? Looks like a big street port with a decent bridge on it. Reason I ask is I see many people run half bridges and I haven't seen anyone running a full bridge turbo motor and was wondering why. Yeah I have a daughter too she is only a year and a half but I'm already brain washing her into rotary's. She's daddy's girl and loves being out in the garage wrenching on things. Hell I have to keep tabs on all my tools because she is constanly jacking them from my tool boxes.

it's a 6 port center plate.. most reason people run a half bridge is simply because the apex seals have a small end piece. Most people run a streetport in the center plate and locate the small end piece of the apex seal toward the center plate, that way they wont loose the end piece.



I have learned that the small end piece sometimes gets chewed up a little on a full bridgeport. I like using apex seals with a larger end piece when building a full bridgeport engine..
