I suppose with enough time and enough front bearings for your Dremel, you might be able to make a little progress. I have said this to pretty much anyone I get the chance to, you will spend more buying the right tools than you will to have your engine ported. If you want to go down that road, more power to you, I did, but I invested way more into tools than the most exotic (okay you can prob think of something more exotic) of stock cylinder port jobs would have cost at any of the known sources. EDIT: Oh yeah, I don't recommend nad polishing either. Just my $.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopar1rules Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 polishing isn't the only thing done during a "clean-up" job. polishing is only done on the exhaust port.....BTW.....and doing the polishing itself, won't net ya squat. you will gain more by shaving the stock head .030", than polishing the exhaust ports. you need some actual raising/widening of ports to see a "seat of the pants" gain. normally for "clean-up" port jobs, guys will "knife-edge" their bridge in the intakes, and/or smooth out the step above the intakes. they will also "knife-edge" the bridge for the transfer runners. they might even "blue-print" the motor, which means to match all the ports within the cylinder and to the other cylinder......making sure all main transfer ports roofs are at the same distance from cylinder deck.....making sure all secondary transfer ports roofs are at the same distance from cylinder deck.....making sure all boost ports roofs are at the same distance from cylinder deck.....making sure all exhaust ports roofs are at the same distance from cylinder deck. i'm sure others will chime in and elaborate a little.

deckheight Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Those are both decent pipes... Raise 1.5mm and keep the same basic port shape. Between raising and widening, should work real well for you. no this is a set of stock cyls. Will probly mill the head some to run premium and the pipes will be pro circuit or pt hi rev.. Basically would just like to add some in top without completely killing the trailability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
