I could spend half the time doing a bowl job and leave the dags and burrs in place and still pick up double the flow that your effort would get. yeah.. but there isnt going to be much of the seats left after the 80 grit gets in there.. hey we are talking to this guy, he doesnt know what he's doing.. they have to be knowledgeably unshrouded, you want him to get stuck into the bowls?  what do the standard heads flow at any rate? might be a waste of time unless the motor is off its tits.. i remember back when we'd port the old honda 750 heads till we flowed a standard one.. it flowed a 1000cc anyway. My left nut he f**k the head..  why would you leave the burrs and dags? My point was for the time spent, removing burrs and dags equates 1/3 of f**k all when it comes to getting these heads to flow. It would be a waste of time. The time needs to be spent in the bowl and short turn. Scroll down this page until you find the pics of the AU VCT head that I cut up. ford-4l-and-6-cylinder-f1/possible-head-porting-docco-coming-soon-t86312-80.html There aren't to many dags or burrs to be seen, yet the area 1/2inch either side of the seat and the short turn is pretty ordinary. Time is better spent in the worst areas if you are looking for the best gains. |

Actually that link Tickford6 put up of the cutaway shows ideally where the port needs to be worked.. you can see how the port would like to flow. nice link actually, thanks for that.
