David P Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Hodge poped by mine the other day to pick up a water neck and drop off some tools for me to finish off porting the inlet ports. Before: http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb161/jamielfoster86/D617EC0A-C505-43A6-B43C-A0376E0ACF65-3490-000004274569EF87_zpscf30e41d.jpg After: I still need to tidy them up alittle but the hard work is done. http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb161/jamielfoster86/CCBBC895-9F2E-4F84-92E4-5306AF00783E-3490-000004275B703F3B_zps2f0ea5e5.jpg http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb161/jamielfoster86/14A397EC-72C7-48FB-8F70-9705A44FFCF3-3490-000004273D7253B2_zps46bc4c09.jpg http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb161/jamielfoster86/A2711734-0F99-4105-87B6-3E7398081DB3-3490-000004274C308F59_zpse2b91357.jpg I'm going to start polishing the exhaust ports this week. A 25mm 60 grit flappy-wheel will make a far better job than that instrument of Dental butchery. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?233707-Project-Supracharger&p=3418427&viewfull=1#post3418427 Edited February 6, 2013 by David P (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjavon Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I've missed this thread somehow as well, good work mate but the reamer bit looks a bit severe to me as well. I used small flap discs and fine dremel bits when I done a zetec a few years ago. I'm no expert though mate, just thought I'd add what I used. Are you going hand grind the valve seats, I found that a killer on a 16 valve never mind a 24, hopefully you've got better forearm muscles than me;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 As can be seen in the pics linked, I gasket matched mine without dismantling and the rubber bungs used to keep the filings out of the engine restricted the depth I could work. Without this restriction you'll find that the flappy wheel will naturally form a blade between the ports and keep them nice and uniform too.

Noz Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Anyway you can flow test it to see if any variation in removing material changes the even distribution per cylinder? If that would even make a difference? Edited February 6, 2013 by Noz (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without this restriction you'll find that the flappy wheel will naturally form a blade between the ports and keep them nice and uniform too. Yeah I understand what you are saying. The tool I used was to take away the majority of the material. Headgames use the same tool to start off with too and they build race engines so I don't think I've done it wrong or used the wrong tool for the job. I will be going in with the floppy wheel and taking down the port further blending it in nicely. As for uniform, mine are uniform. I think I see why you think they are not, if you look down the port I've done and look where the tool hasn't hit, the line isn't stright and giving the appearance of it being misshapen but I can tell you it looks perfectly uniform by eye. Ill post more pictures when I've finished them as I'm fairly confident I've done a good job of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOSTA Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Does look pretty sweet dude. How long did you think its took you so far? I honestly don't know mate lol, I've just spent a hour here and there lol if I had to guess I'd say about 8-10 hours at a guess. Lol That's from staring to strip the engine down to porting it and that Doesn't include the 4hour drive to pick the engine up and bring it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOSTA Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Well just got my petrol tank cover back from the powder coaters, I decided to get it coated in a dark metalic gunmetal gray. Looks loads better than the orange rust look. Not a good picture but you get the idea: After: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 It needs more "Afters". Put the gasket in place and scribe with a sharp implement a mark within it, then keep nagging at it with the flappy wheel until the scribed line is gone.
