Default Local Porting...

Yea, I looked in the TR Shop Forum, but didn't see anything about machining. Might be in the market to get a Z6 head ported, I have heard Yonke Racing is very good, but they don't have a website so I can't check em out. Anyone know of any good places??

Bad advice. The port entries need very little work and gasket matching is a big no-no on a Honda. The majority of the work that needs to be done is in the port bowls and short turn radius. Reworking the port entry by gasket matching will net no gain and might kill velocity and lose power. 80+% of the gains in port work are in the valve job angles, valve back-cut angles and port bowl blending.

When I Was Asking Around About A Good Local Porter, A Couple Of People Told Me To Go To 3d Machining Over In Tampa. I Was Told They Were Good With Honda Heads. A Friend Of Mine Knows Someone That Took There Head There And Said It Made Good Power. If I Knew Where There Shop Is I Would Tell Ya But I Dont Even Have A Number For There. I Imagine You Could Look Them Up In The Phone Book Though. Hope It Helps You Any
