  • porting heads

    If you do port the heads, dont you port the intake bigger than exhaust?
    I think there used to be a lengthy writeup about it/heads on the old server?
    The writeup also said that Abbott heads were better in a way because
    they have better intake/exhaust combinations that arent huge amounts of porting done.
    thanks

            Click Download. The next page says "Please scroll down for your download link." Down near the bottom it says "Download Now" with a link to the actual file.

              I just dont wanna port too much, or port too much in one cylinder, and that cylinder runs leaner than the others...

                You want to do it yourself? I wouldn't really suggest that unless you know what you're doing. Abbott and SSM didn't get to be good by just reading a book on it. ;)

                    i did my heads myself, when my head gasket went. all i did was get ride of all the ruff edges, and bumps, it was not to hard. just get a die grinder and some scrap metal, practice on the scrap till you are comfitable, and then try on your heads.

                        i did not notice anything, my car is mostly stock, all i have done is headers. im sure once i get a new air box and exost i will get more power out of the engine, to take advage of the ported heads.

                          Re: porting heads

                          i think that a cam would do great with heads, but you would want to have supporting mods like intake/exhaust first.

                          I dont think i'm gonna port the heads cause its so hard to get in there. I would have to take off the valves...

                            Anybody can do it themselves. Just get a dremel and go at it. But grinding off a couple sharp corners is not going to give the results of a professional with years of experience with these very heads. It could easily make things worse. ;)

                              yeah i have pics of heads ported check out my cardomain

                              http://www.cardomain.com/ride/804031/1

                              you can match the gaskets to the heads by porting which is what i suggest

                              a carbide burr will rip through the aluminum intakes so be careful when trying it yourself

                              also do not mess up the valve seat, unless you want to get it recut since you took metal out and he valve will not seat properly
