allitle fun with the shortys.

One of my headers cracked and i had to take one of them off, was easy becuase i have the heads off and everything. Anyways, i took the one off, and looked at where the pipes go into the head. Well, i noticed there was a significant ridge on right where the headers would bolt into the head. Well, i got the ole dremel out and spent two hours custom "porting" my headers. I only did where there was the ridge inside, you can put your finger into the pipe and it is smooth now, no ridge. No, i didnt grind anything that would effect sealing. Im not sure if this was worth the time, but im bored waiting on my heads to get ported and valve job. should free up 2-3 hp

Well, my heads are in the shop, and im getting the exhaust side fully ported. What i was thinking, with that ridge there on fully ported exhaust side, i would lose power... took me quite awhile becuase i used an assortment of bits to do the job right. I took a conciderable amount of metal out of them, looks good, and it doesnt look like i have a hump all around the inside of my headers. So with ported heads i hope this was worth my time.
