BUlLT ENGlNE PICS!

"um... I thought you knew about these engines....

those ports are PERFECTLY gasket matched to the OEM gasket, which is damn near perfectly matched to the intake ports on the head... its also dirty cause everyone had their grubbys on it before it went into the solvent tank."

Umm yeah.... So you opened the ports up to the exact size of the gaskets. The gaskets are approx. .150 larger than the port openings on the head. A "perfect" (if there is such a thing) gasket match is achieved by opening the intake to .050 smaller than the head port opening. But your right, I don't know anything.....
 
dude, get off your high horse... whats with the attitude?

why split hairs with hundredths of inches... not to mention this is hard ported, not CNC... I doubt anyone can PERFECTLY match to a 20th of an inch...

your words were : "that intake was opened up waayy too much... Unless you opened up your head that much (which I highly doubt), it seems like the air would be hitting the overhanging ports...."

ok, lets disect this...

1st, the ports are not opened WAY too much
2nd, "unless you opened up your head that much"? (what the 20th of an inch?)
3rd, overhangin ports? WTF? even a 20th of an inch is a molehill compared to the faggoty VTCS bumps.

go find someone else less knowledgable to belittle
 
I don't know about you but when I do something, it is done right to the best of my abilities. He posted pics. and asked for comments. I gave my opinion.

Anyways...Its apparent you've never been around head porters before. Sometimes they will kill for .15 more room to port, etc.

All my ports are within .041- .074 smaller than my head port opening, and thats with porting the head and the intake.

The exhaust side is .058- .084 larger on the exhaust manifold than the head opening, again with porting the manifold and the head.

Any blockage is bad, period.
 
ok, first, this was one in 2 hours at 3:00 AM after being up all day, all week untill these times... not to mention done with steel die grinder bits, because thats all we had... so I went through 3 of them.

we got what we got... this is not .001" behind the valve stem.. this is in the major port... where my major goal was to remove the VTCS bumps.. END OF STORY!
 
If that was only done with steel carbide bits I comend you. I did my first intake with steel carbide bits, they gum up very easily and become very unpredictable.

I did not mean to start a pissing match, it always seems my comments never come over with the constructive criticism they were meant to have.
 
perhaps thats because you have a "you suck, so does your car, i ******* rock" mentality.

anyway lets let it end. i'm over it.
 
regardless of all the hate in this thread.

It's definetly nice, but I'd be a wee bit more careful about triflin with blkzoomzoom, he's forgotten more about these motors than you folks will ever know.
