I was just wondering if it had a noticable effect.

EDIT: I think but don't type it

Let me retry that Has anyone attempted gasket matching the intake and or exhuast ports? Is there a noticable effect while N/A? What about Turbo'ed?

Thanks

huh?

 

what r u talking about?

btw... has anyone ever tried tire?

 

I like tire, but caliper is better

 

i think blinker is the best though!

 

thinner head gasket to raise compression is my guess.

 

Look up top to see my edit

 

why not jus type out what you need answered and stop thinking, no one can read what you think. if im thinking straight you want to match the hole on the gasket to the opening of the intake and exhaust ports right? well doin that will give you no gain in power, relibility or whatever you were goin for, plus its a waste of time and hard labor. if you are thinking about getting a thinner head gasket to raise your compression, that will also do almost nothing and is not worth the money or trouble of taking out the head and everything around it to get it out.
you need to tell us what you want answered or we can not do it.

 

After re-reading his post/edit, *I* thought it was completely clear what he was asking. Is there any noticable affect to matching the intake and exhuast ports on the intake manifold/head connection, and head/header connections.

You should lose the attitude

PS: I hav no clue how tight the machining tolerances are on honda engines, but I know that it was real sloppy looking on my mazda engine.

 

You don't want to match your gaskets or better yet the ports to the manifolds. There is a reason that they are not exactly the same size and its called reversion. If anything open up your intake ports with a grinder just a hair and don't touch the intake manifold. For the exhaust - don't touch the head but port the entry of the manifold or header right where the flange is. This keeps the exhaust gasses from wanting to come back into your intake charge during the overlap which honda's have so much of.
