Its finally almost done. Its running and driving but my timing is just a little bit off. It hesitates a little when I put my foot into it. Its not as responsive as it should be.
-
Definitely, unfortunately I don't have any sort of access to a flow bench. I'll just put my hand at the tail pipe and feel if its pushing more air. ;-)
-
Hopefully its not worse. I think the left head I was able to do way better since I had practice with the right head.
-
Alright finished the heads as far as I'm gonna go, I uploaded a ton of pictures. I'm finally putting this thing back together and the heads are on the truck. But its time to clean up and get ready for work. https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B3u9r81m9OssZm8tTTQ5Ull3WjA/edit

Its raining outside so I can put anything together until I clean out space in the garage to push the ol pathy into
-
I'm doing both sides the other will be cleaned and ported tomorrow. And then I'll throw it all back together and hope it runs.
-
Need to clean the drivers side head and buy new tips to port it
-
Cutting ball works amazing got through the rest of the ports with it. Added some pictures
-
No not yet I'll try it tomorrow

Whew definately takes a lot of work. I've got one cylinder almost done just cleaning up a little bit. Spent an hour on it. And I'm definitely gonna need more sanding rolls. I only had four and I'm down to one. Hands feel numb from sitting with the grinder so long. I've noticed sanding takes a lot longer than grinding tips. I started using the corse tips first and the sanding after just to save tips but the grind tips go pretty fast too. For those of you who've gotten a port feel free to comment on how it looks and what I can improve on. Sorry its a link I still haven't got a photobucket. And there with all my other photos https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B3u9r81m9OssZm8tTTQ5Ull3WjA/edit

It seems as though polishing is only for looks and does do to much for flow
-
Also watching a professional do it helps a lot and being able to ask "so how come you just did that?" Is a good bonus.

Even if I make mistakes, learning is the real objective here. If your to afraid to ruin something and never take a risk to advance your knowledge and experience how are you ever going to learn and grow.

I believe with fuel injectors mixing isn't to big of an issue. Additionally pros weren't always pros and one day I'd like to call myself a pro too. Here's an excellent write up on port for all those interested. http://www.popularhotrodding.com/enginemasters/articles/hardcore/0412em_porting_cylinder_heads/viewall.html

Though what I should ask, is how do I tighten the belt with out it getting too tight or being too loose. I think as far as breaking is concerned its because the first bearing is so far from the gear. And the add stress of a tight belt snaps it.
