So wider on ssr towards exhaust is very limited. Pic of exhaust bowl. .1" measured but the aggressive nature of the burr bulged aluminum.
Beautiful texture! Chad Speier beautiful. Sorry for mentioning "he who shall not be named on ST", but the guy has the port texture [Blank Post] down.

Thanks, after pri I will sit down and feed all the specs into the program and see where I am. It looks the part but I am not thrilled with this casting.

Going to try this texture on a mildly reworked port and see how it does.

Maybe in the future if I know it will be for a production cnc design. For now just bench testing. Thanks, Charlie

IMHO our bowl is WAY small with a 50* seat. I run 87-88% bowls on 45 stuff. You should be in the 92% range on a 50 degree seat. That's one of the values of a steeper seat. You can get the bowls to where they should be, without losing the entire valve job.


Can you say where you got this set of cutters? I'm assuming you have a different cutter for the intake and exhaust.

Thanks Class, my first 50 degree seat port so I was inching up on it. That is good info, I only have stones so no cutters. Charlie
