D16y8 exhaust port 4
So i just disassembled my y8 head and noticed that cylinder's exhaust port 4 being closest to the vtec side of the engine, has a very small port inside that leads to the rear of the head / intake side. Why is this, what is it's purpose?
the port exist right of the intake port, above the water outlet.

I have no idea...
IF that port leads from the exhaust thru the head to the intake manifold (which is how your wording seems to put it) the ONLY thing I can think of is that's not a Y8 head.
Instead, it might somehow be a Y5 head, because those have exhaust gas re-circulation (EGR) in order to lower emissions, but that means it'd have to run thru an EGR valve or something....
I've got a Y7 head sitting in my closet and I looked at the intake side...there seems to be a circular etching there like something MIGHT go there if it were used for something else, but definitely no hole tapped there
And I don't have a Y8 to compare it to
XP
Can someone else please help because I have NO idea
XD;
EDIT: found pix of Y8 cylinder heads with that weird little port...wtf is that?

Re: D16y8 exhaust port 4
you are right with a little more research last night, i found that port to be the EGR exhaust hole. my y8 head has it, but the manifold doesn't have it so... no EGR. But the prevision exist, i just wonder how much it effects exhaust flow on port #4?
here is a y8 manifold that has the EGR prevision. This thing is horrible looking.

LOL can't believe I guessed right on that XD;
As for how it flows....probably the same as other Y8's since they're all apparently cast that way ^^;
Thanks for the weird ****, Honda
