Hey guys, I am waiting on the surewinproducts on ebay to restock their header (unless anyone knows for certain another seller that bolts up without hassle and will accommodate both my o2 sensors) and while doing this I have been reading some stuff about headers in general and on this site. I see a lot of people talking about port and polish, I looked it up and got a general idea of what exactly it is, but I am confused as to how you actually go about doing this, do you have to have this done at a machine shop? Do they need the header, or the motor? Is it expensive, is it worth the money, etc, etc. Thank you for any information you can give me.

I ported n polished my head while it was out since I was rebuilding my engine.you gotta know what your doing tho. If you get it done at a shop it alol run you some big bucks. I did it myself. I just bought some carbide burrs on ebay to cut away metal, and some sanding drums to smooth everything down.DONT PORT TOO MUCH BECAUSE YOU MIGHT BUST THE WATER JACKETS.
youtube it too. Hope it helps. |
