I came on this forum curious to see what kind of tech advice and questions i would find on here,but i have found very little info and was wondering if anyone would mind if i tried to add some of the cylinder head tech that i have acquired over the years. I will try to keep it simpleyet as in depth as i possible can.It will be some basic info,theories,and personal finds the i have experienced.just so people know my name is ricky i have a shop called"Industrial Performance" that specializes in head porting in carson, california.I have been doing this for some time now so i do have some back ground on this subject.What i wish to accomplish by doing this is to inform the uninformed and help protect the more naive consumer from getting ripped off,and hopefully in the process learn something new myself.If you feel like chiming in with theories,questions,or even usefull info by all mean feel free to do so.the only thing i ask is that noone try to slander any shops or persons on here because that is not the purposehere,i would like to elevate this to the next level but in order to do so it requires a group effort.as far as cylinder head porting goes it will be impossible to cover evrything but with everyones help we can cover much ground.remember the only dumb question is the one you dont ask..and if any one feels comfortable with creating a post on short blocks please do lets use this tech forum for tech not "why do my brakes squeek when i hit the pedal"tech .. so if no one has any objections let start this off..

 

First of all, I would like to say it is an honor to speak to another motorhead, Ricky. Well as far as port and polishing the cylinder head or heads go.....in racing as port staging goes, whats exactly does a stage 1 stage 2 stage 3 consist of. I know with the stage 2 and stage 3 your engine would sure appreciate if you would add an upgraded valvetrain and stree/strip cam or cams. That was my question but I want to know because I want to get that completed because with my FI system im sure the engine would benefit from it severly because of the air and fuel going through more easily. I also have a Nitrous Express wet systtem set up for a 50 shot and I would like to have a pretty mild torque gain from this setup. Thanks Ricky....Plus how much for a standard port/polish?

basically many different shops have different opinions on stages,packages. but i do feel that it is necessary to give different options to the consumer because one head set up will not work on all block set ups as far as packages/stages go they are a way of offering custumers ways of consentrating on different areas of their power band .. for example my stage 1 is very mild and tends to consentrate more on low end and midrange, my stage two focuses more on mid and top end, and my stage 3 gives undivided attention to the top end while trying to conserve as much as the mid as possible.1 thing that most people dont understand is that port work becomes a trade off in some cases. if you want peak numbers you sacrifice low end (not always but in a some cases). and if you want low and mid you sacrifice peak numbers.. for example (dont try this you will regret this) if you were to hog a intake port to an outrages dimensions yes you might get peak numbers but your low and mid would be a disaster and you wouldnt be able to use this head until some where in the 8k range ... there are ways to get a nice peak number with out killing your low .. and thats what seperates true head porters and guys with some bits and grinders.. valve jobs also play a huge role in peak mid and low numbers.. chambers are often over looked by many people sure they fluff them up and make them shiny but that dont mean dick . chamber is one way to gain back some low lift numbers if detailed correctly

 

I am a budget motor head. I am having my block sleved with darton sleves but the head i will either leave alone or do a mild p&p. the motor is a h22 and the pistons im putting in are JE 9:1. So obviously im boosting. I am new at p&p so my plan is to match the intake ports and the intake manifold ports to the gasket, match the exaust ports to the gasket, doa very light polish on the intake ports, and do a little better detailed polish on the exaust ports. and possibly polish the domes a little. domes i hear are hard to get even so basicly i will just put a little shine to them. All this i am confident i can do wiht out to many problems. can you for see any problems i may run in to? or any reaosns i shoudl not try this?

 

by domes im assuming your talkin about chambers and im also assuming that your porting this your self... match porting is ok but if you have no experience i would suggest sendi ng it out but if you do plan on doing it your self you may want to consult a friend or a shop that may be a ble to help you out... dooing the bowls can help you out alot and try to steer clear of the short turns try not to mess those up.. i really hate explaining "how to port" because it is very difficult to put it down 4 anyone to read..what are you using to port with?? why dont you give me a call ill give you a killer deal i just dont want you to mess your head up...

 

ok i will give you a call.. the shipping woudl kill me though you live in Cali right? i live in north carolina.
