Default Good Port or Bad Port (Pics)

didn't want to post them because they are a little large. Let me know. I don't know much about porting. Thanks for the help.

If you're gonna do Port-n-polish, do it the right way the first time. I would help you port your head, but your too far. Here's mine, I took out .090". Make sure you measure your walls w/an Inside Caliper and Outside Caliper, so, you don't over port it. Always measure, measure, measure!

Pass on it cause its not ported the dividers just narrowed. Its totally unheard of to port a head with the valves still in it.

what kills me is how many of these DIY port jobs you see, and how many heads have been screwed up for the small amount of power you gain from a PROPERLY done p&p...its just not worth it to me......btw I would skip that head, its no good for you if its actually gonna slow you down

It's because most people don't understand how it all works and just thinks by making everything bigger (not worrying about how or why) makes parts better.

the only way you will know if your P and P job was a success is to have it flow tested.
