Man I dunno but you are the Picasso of porting. Those clean measured lines and end results are something.I 've seen I lot of porting in the last 15years.

Jio. I sit here a bit upset with the help I've had in my shop(mechanics if they could even earn that tittle). The one helper I caught stealing red handed has been a helper that I took under my wing for the last 2 years. I'm upset knowing how many parts have dissapeared and I've had to come out of my pocket time and time again. I was suspicious of the 2 guys that use to help me, but never the 3rd guy that I had for the last 2 years. I feel betrayed and helpless. At this point without help I could not supply the demand that is asked of me and I get so backed up that I feel I just don't want to even own a shop anymore. It's an overwhelming feeling trying to catch up with work and just can't do it alone. Then the help that I had turns out to be pure garbage. Thats what I call people that bite the hand that feeds them.. GARBAGE...





Anyway Jio enjoy your brand new side housings and the ports look

Hang in there Ito, It's a real shame that you can't rely on certain people to be honest. Not all people are dishonest and you should be able to find one or two to give you a hand. I feel fortunate to have one of my long time, well trusted friends as an employee. Hell move down to Maryland and I'd be glad to help out. I'm sure most of us here would all do the same. Good luck and don't be brought down by the actions of a few dishonest people.

Which end of NJ are you at ITO?



Anywhere close to Bridgeport? We've got a factory there, maybe I should get a transfer!



PS Having your shop in Bridgeport would, of course, be most appropriate!!!

I received the template today from Fiske (Martin) He was kind enough to pick it up from Judge Ito and deliver it here to my shop. As some of you know I am doing Martins motor for him, and I have to say the quality of these templates are extremely nice, and the ports are very nice. I used them on Martins motor in his presence today and even gave him a try at the wand. Ito thanks again for doing this for us. It was money well spent my friend. Martin will be posting a few pictures I am sure, the pics will show the rough cut of the ports on FD plates. He was amazed at how much material was to be removed from the primary ports
