cdw Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 I did some polishing myself by hand and I think it did some good. Tell me exactly what porting is, is it just making your ports bigger because I didn't want to touch mine. Quote
sredish Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 I did some polishing myself by hand and I think it did some good. Tell me exactly what porting is, is it just making your ports bigger because I didn't want to touch mine. Porting and polishing is cleaning up the intake and exhaust ports of all the burrs and unsmooth surface, and enlarging them to different degrees depending on the circumstances, then polishing them to a nice smooth finish so that air and gases can escape very efficiently. If your asking what it is or how to do it, you probably shouldn't be trying it anytime soon. I would leave that for the professional shops. Scott Quote
spoin39 Posted February 13, 2004 Report Posted February 13, 2004 Have it done by a pro. You can have them port it for your type of riding, get more bottom/mid/top depending on how the portwork is done. Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted February 14, 2004 Report Posted February 14, 2004 Tell me exactly what porting is, is it just making your ports bigger Yes and no. You can make them bigger, but you don't just make them bigger. You have to know what you are doing; you have to know what to calculate in order to know where and how much to cut for the desired results. Several shops are represented here at the HQ that do excellent porting. Quote
Nighty Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 does anybody have pictures of a ported intake of ported transfer port? my untrained eye CANNOT find any spots that would need grinding.. only thing i could find in the intake port would be that large piece of unsharpend metal in the middle of the intake. everything else looks pretty nice to me! even my jugs are pretty much lined up with the port work. pics would be appreciated!
