any tips on how to do it. books to read tools needed how to practice? thanks in advance!

 

 

Someone please make it stop....

 

ok so people who do it were just born knowing how to do it? tight.. thanks for the help!

 

Search Amazon.com for books on cylinder head performance/porting. Read them, they will only tell you about 1/8 of what there really is to know. Then youll need to pick up the equipment and start doing it yourself. It will be a while before you get really good. Then your about 3/8 of the way there. You will learn some advanced concepts, maybe learn how to flow test, and do some machine work, like cutting the seats and the such. Then youre about 6/8 of the way there. The last 2/8 is what seperates the men from the boys.

Good luck.

 

cool thanks.

Definetly not something that is learned over night!!, even with a CNC machine

 

my recommendation as a beginner who tried, DONT

 

If you're going to learn how to modify cylinder head castings, make sure you have plenty of spare heads and plenty of spare time. You'll need plenty of both.

 

or PM em1 loi maybe he can port your head for cheap.

 

SIZE, SHAPE AND TRANSITION QUALITY IS EVERYTHING

Take some measurements. You maybe shocked that you don't need to "port".

Youre gonna get in trouble for posting that. Its patented!!! oh noez!

 

Isn't this what they make you tatoo on your arm when going to porting skool so you never forget.

The Cajun Porting Skool I went to the instructor in overalls said if you do this "IT GONNA FLOW, IT GONA FLOW FOR A HUNNED YEARS, YOU HERE ME BOI !!!!"

 

Lay Tien Cho Head Porting!

 

the bigger the port the better right

Chow Yun-Fat!!!!

 

and hogg the floors, lower it to the ground so thers no short turn

and remove the divider, its taking up space

 

just get some spare heads and a weekend or two and give it a try. Can only learn from mistakes unless you dont try

I have a blown b16 casting. You really dont want to learn how to port though.

 

maybe he could start with cleaning up minor casting flaws, and maybe some texture to promote a homogenous mixture that were all after?

 

on another note without knowing what your really doing and the real world effects of your "mods" unless you have a flowbench who really knows exactly what effect you had, i know i have practiced on a few d16 heads, got one im satisfied with, a couple with overly large ports that will most likely really only shine in a small rpm range making for a more "peaky" honda motor than they already are.

and this is in your sig:
PORT AND POLISHED HEADS FOR A GREAT PRICE HIT ME UP IF YOU NEED ONE DONE

Which one of these is true??????

 

i only wanted to learn something new, since i have access to alot of trash cylinder heads i thought porting would be something i could learn but i guess not.. ill probably still give it a try but not on my head which i was never intending to do anyway. but thanks for all the help.
