6 port pictures
Here is a basic streetport I did a couple weeks back on a 6 port block. On this one I didnt fully polish the intake runners and bowl, I dont really believe it helps but some customers prefer it.

Looks nice, I dont think you have to worry about the coolant seals moving during install

Thanks. Who wants a pinched coolant seal? Thats an extra headache. I always like to see everyones port work. Each one has its own personality so to speak.

Thats an odd setup - yea, with the ports still IN though, I would think that would hurt performance while the ports are closed but who knows.
A note on those earlier ports by David Jerome - the shape is pretty good, but bevel them leading andedges! And on EFI - polishing the bowls does make a difference from what I've seen... |

Well Ive removed the sleeves and actuating rods.
I too have wondered about polishing the runners, haven't read much about it, it seems to me its either way effectiveness. About the runners... What dose one use, just a grinding stone, or is there a finer grit stone out there, or dose one somehow get a sanding thing in there, or all of the above, depending on how smooth one wants the runners? |

I use an extension for a electric dremel with sanding paper - working it with some fine paper and then hit it with some polishing compound. I'm a bling junkie though.
The concept for me is - on carb cars, usually keeping a mildly rough surface helps to atomize the fuel and oxygen as it tumbles through the intake track since carbs doent mix as well. However, w/ EFI - since the injectors spray pattern is MUCH more precise and accurate than a carb's squirter/metering block/jets, the fuel and oxygen atomize earlier/better, so you want as smooth as possible surface to accelerate the mixture... Dunno, kind of old school logic, but makes sense to me... |
