LiftdT4R Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 Ok, I'm building a new engine, and the cylinders I got, need to be bored and honed. I'm sending them out to have them done, and since I had it apart, I figured now would be the time to have porting done. Just had a few questions for anyone running an MX port. The MX Port is quite a bit of money on top of the bore/hone/pistons. It is a little more then I wanted to spend, but I figured now would be the time. If I have the cylinders sleeved later on, what would be the deal with the porting? Can they even be re-sleeved after porting? Is it a pain in the ass, and a ton of money to do this? On average, how much will I notice the MX port? It will be done on the 2001 in my sig, with the mods listed. I really would like the powerband to come on a bit smoother. Once this is done, I really don't want to do anything else. I don't want to do new carbs, or anything else, I'm way over budget on this build allready. So I guess my next question is will I need anything else other then a few extra jets to play around with? I guess that's it for now. The bore/hone and pistons are running me about 280 total, I really wasnt planning to dump more $$ on a port job, but if it's really going to be worth it, and I won't have to buy anything else for it, I'll probably go with it. As always, thanks a lot, you guys are always super-imformative, :beer: Quote
LiftdT4R Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Posted January 3, 2007 Ohh yeah, I ride pretty much tighter trails and powerline cuts. Quote
dajogejr Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 300 to 400 for a good woods/MX port. Worth it...but you're never gonna have low end power on a shee...unless you completely neuter the thing. If the cylinders need to be resleeved, the machinist...or you, will need to grind/chamfer the liner to match the porting done on the cylinders...not a HUGE deal. Quote

Yeah, I know it's not gonna be a stump puller by any means, but with the stup on my 2001, I'd be ahead of piped and jetted 450s all day long in tighter trails, hill shoots, and open roads. I'm pretty happy with the grunt with the mods I had done, just don't know if it's worth it or not to drop the loot on an MX port. I probably don't need it, but it'd be nice to have. Also, I got quoted 280 for boring/honing wiseco prolites(rings, etc.) and gaskets. Basically, 80 for bore/hone 175 for prolites, and 25 for return shipping. Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Posted January 3, 2007 what shop is this thru? i have seen much better prices eslewhere. pistons and rings, and all that should not cost you 175 bucks... my bro had an excellent woods port done by eric gorr. cost 250 bucks. i wouldnt pay 400 for a woods or mx port. im thinking 250 to 300 sounds reasonable..
