PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 fwiw, rocketboy's ported quite a few cylinders, from LT250R's to CR500's. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss his abilities because you haven't heard of his work. 478353[/snapback] I've heard that Rocketboy does this. Rocketboy you got some sort of portfolio on yourself? Do you work for somebody? What porting do you offer? If I went to the library of congress would I find any books of yours on the shelf next to the ones that Eric Gorr has written and published specifically on porting 2-strokes?

stclark816 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 im not hating o n the guy just my opinion that if your gonna build and invest into a a 4mill stroker engine theres better options and more power to be had ,my.02 478012[/snapback] Sure there is more power to be had, but not everyone wants a full out dragger. I think a 4mm Gorr set up would run fuckin awesome. Be an awesome trail/dune/drag machine. My stock crank Gorr set up would run with the best of em'. Seems like everyone that has ever had Gorr's woods port is more than happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sredish Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 No one ever said I was a professional... FWIW, I just sent a good friend to call Gorr and he tried for 3 days and never could get ahold of anyone at their number. I have him calling FASTOYS instead. He's looking for a mild 4 mil trail/dune setup like exactly what you all are talking about. He's even going to try to use the single carb, which I'm for. I know most or 99% would say... WHAT?? but I feel for what he wants, it might work out good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broke Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Dan Wade from Patriot Racing is another I would look in to. He did my first motor and Jim from Passion did my current one. Both are excellent builders, but that's not to say that others aren't. As far as woods/MX ports go there isn't a whole lot to them, so the prices are usually pretty reasonable. The amount of time a builder has to spend grinding/measuring/shaping/calculating is where the added expense come into play with the expensive port jobs. I can give you what I built for woods, but it's an RZ motor, so that's comparing apples to oranges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed350x Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 and im in no way knocking the guy... 479014[/snapback] I think you just did. This goes back to the whole what you want to do with your bike thing. Some poeple might not want oogles of power up top or want it to scream like crazy, some people need more power down low, which is why they go with different port jobs.

Some poeple might not want oogles of power up top or want it to scream like crazy, some people need more power down low, which is why they go with different port jobs. 479043[/snapback] Exactly!! You have to decide what kind of riding style you are going to do and then go with that port setup. If you are going to have it ported make sure you check around and talk to alot of people. There are some great people out there that really know what they are doing when it comes to porting. I have never had Eric Gorr port any of my stuff but he sure is a big name when it comes to porting, so he must be doing something right.

Leadfoot350 Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 did you guys not read my post. Eric Gorr is leaving to UK. So he cant port your stuff unless you want to ship it to him over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
