i am pretty sure i didnt sound ignorant. just stating on how my setup works for me. the swingarm is was one that i extended lol. was actually awhile back. i thought i had updated that with my current setup. but for sure the porting is the correct thing to do but since i am going to do it later and my old crank was toasted i decided to only split the cases once and did the 4 mill along with the trans bearings and other small things.
