Re: Self ported/polished heads and intakes
i will be fine, i didnt "hog out" the ports, i just cleaned them up by removing casting flaws and smoothing transitions

Re: Self ported/polished heads and intakes
You'll be fine, I did this 5 years ago when my engine was rebuilt and never had any problems. And that is after running a supercharger and now running 125 shot of nitrous. It is when you start reshaping and start expanding the ports and taking alot of material off is where you run into problems, since you have to make them the same.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

Re: Self ported/polished heads and intakes
Did you use the standard abrasive porting kit?
I have the deluxe porting kit, die grinder, heads, and the intakes are on their way.. I'm going to start mine tomorrow.
I don't have the intake gaskets yet.. what should I do tomorrow? Just like, take out the casting lines/start the valve guide/smooth short side radius?
