Here are some pictures of the intake side. WARNING! If you are squeamish then stop reading now. This may not be for the weak of heart. Just kidding!
Intake mod requested by Jack Vines, he wanted the intake runner removed. I haven’t smoothed anything yet, this is as milled.
Here is the start of my experiment. Cutting off the top of the ports to see if I could raise the ports up/open them up. There is more work to do on this side but if inquiring minds want to know…here it is.
That’s all the stuff from the intake side so far. I look at this stuff as very experimental. I plan to rebuild the ports I am working on with wood and epoxy so the ports can be flowed.
There is a milder port modification that I would like to have done but it became more apparent only as the ports were cut open. It has to do with sleeving the push rod holes near each intake port and removing the material to the sleeve, this opens up a turn in the port as well as widening the port. I will explain more about it as I finish the ports off.
There you go Rich, for better or worse!
