head porting ?'s

natedawgg94 · 06-04-2006, 04:48 AM

i've decided to waste a little time on porting some stock heads myself since i'm pretty much broke and have a cam on the way. so i'm wondering what the biggest intake and exhaust gasket part #'s are that i could hog the stock heads to? i've got some unuseable heads to practice on. i know a descent amount about porting since my dad and i do all the porting and polishing on our go-cart engines and honda engines but any comments will be welcomed.

Some of the best areas on stock heads to port are in the bowl area under the valves, and on the exhaust port to remove the emission hump, but definatly the bowl areas are key.
For a template in the bowl area, get a 5 angle valve job, have it roughed in at first, then do the final blending under the valves, then get the valve job completed.
