Thanks for the link I'll read it later tonight
What I have read so far about port matching is regarding piston engines. I'm sure it's the same idea but the lip created by variance between where two runners meet encourages the fuel to start coming out of suspension from the air. In other words the fuel starts sticking to walls of the runner at those points.
What I don't understand yet is how you determine which lips/contact surfaces need matched. Or for that matter how much they are off from each other. With piston engines they talk about simply using a marker through cylinder heads and such.
What I'm assuming I could do is use a light coat of paint or ink, simply bolt the parts together and then pull them apart. But that seems awfully prone to fucking it up. Seems like the amounts they will be off will me millimeters and any wiggle or smudging of the paint/ink will throw the whole measurement off.
I'll be doing engine work today between football games and I'll look over the parts. Hopefully having parts in hand I can figure out answers to my questions.
