I finally got going on a couple of sets of 103's heads that I'm doing...thought I'd share some pic's.
I have the bores done, guides in, rough porting, un-shrouded the valves and I have cut for the new seats. They will get 44 X 38mm valves (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Attached image(s) |

Over the next few weeks I hope to get the new plug holes in, seats in and start on some final porting and blending.
Then we'll see how well they flow. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Attached image(s) |

don't need to remind you about sharp edges in the combustion chamber.

Ummmm...do they look done?
Blending is almost the last job. |

great work!
porting really is the best kept secret to more power. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) i'm running a SBC BTW. my current running heads were relieved and port matched but i've got another set of old school camel humps with new seats and guides that need lots of work... looks like you know what your doing. do you have your own flow bench or do you go to someone who does? i've never done this before but am very interested in your process. gunna' put a polish on 'em?

My neighbour just down the road has a full superflow set-up...not really concerned with the numbers, I'm just going to see if they're flowing the same.
I will polish them a bit, but the polishing doesn't help the flow a huge amount...more of a pride of workmansihp thing. Other than clean up I'm not doing much with the intakes. |

Ask two different porters and you get two different answers.
Some say that a bit of roughness helps turbulence and keeps the fuel atomized...too smooth and it wets down the port. Others say that smooth flow is paramount and it's moving to fast to wet the port. I've done many a T1 both ways and have never noticed a huge difference. To me the porting is more important than making it real pretty. BTW those exhaust ports are quite smooth...just not polished to a mirror shine. Also the porting is not done as the new seats have a bigger ID than stock. |
