You should port and polish your engine not yourself j/k
Well if you want to learn how to do it then more power to you. Just make sure you learn from someone good.

Re: (machine4321)
I have the equipment in my engine performance class. Ported/polished my b16 head and installed ITR valvesprings. It takes time, patience and control. A beginner should only polish and not mess with the ports.

Re: yea
if you look...i believe it is number 2 or number 3 cylinder which runs a little bit leaner than the rest of the cylinders for some reason. Perhaps you could find a way to correct this yourself?

Re: (GSRswapandslow)
I think I need to make a video for this. my suggestion is to use a cast iron burr if you plan on taking any material out because it won't get away from you like a aluminum burr will use it on a slow speed with lots of lube, you can order that stuff from Standard Abrasives. If you haven't bought a grinder yet I suggest a air grinder with a front exhaust so it will help blow the wasted material away or a electric grinder but I cannot suggest which one because I don't use them.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by GSRswapandslow »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">don't **** it up</TD></TR></TABLE>
I agree and good luck

Try and it and you'll see why many don't do it. It takes a certain passion along with grinder control, and some initial equipment.

Re: port and polish myself? (Rocket)
If you actually want to reuse the head, i suggest u dont use a burr. It will take off too much metal, and you could seriously mess up the port job. I suggest just using sandpaper bits and smoothing out the ports.

that is why I suggested that anyone trying this to use a burr that has a cast iron cut so it won't take out alot of material, If your not going to take any material out I wouldn't waste my time doing it, I don't think you would see any gain at all by just polishing.
