I like to put a vacuum cleaner in the other end of the port I’m grinding, helps keep it clear and easy to see what you’re doing. Easy clean up.

Great tool doing porting cylinders head. I ❤ super spiral burr . Save time to shape

[@wil8115]

Awesome Brian!

Enormous ports in heads look good to customers who are clueless, and will increase HP slightly at very high rpm, and provide impressive numbers on a flow bench. They will also reduce torque and HP at lower engine speeds. Air tools will certainly remove lots of material, but are noisy, cumbersome, imprecise, and expensive to run. Pendant motor and flex drive is much more suitable, but perhaps not for those who still think bigger is better, needing to remove 3-4mm from port walls.......................lol

[@ajhauter5049]

My heads were cast with a lot of extra meat to save money, so I think I can get away with 1-2 mm.

[@humourless682]

@@ajhauter5049 Why not spend time and money on doing enormous ports, which will make you go slower?

[@ajhauter5049]

@@humourless682 Nah I'm tryna keep it reasonable, just enough porting to benefit from the beefier valve springs and lifters I'm installing (springs from small block chevy, lifters from small block ford into a ford 3.0 V6)

You guys need to restock your bits !!!

[@headgames]

The issue is, they sell out sometimes before they even get on the website

[@antoniobarrientos1230]

SPEED CONTROL WITH A FOOT PEDAL WORKS TOO

[@gordocarbo]

Foredom..hands free like they should be

[@mikerieck306]

@@gordocarbo They are awesome porting tools.....I have 4 of them. Tremendous torque for great low speed operation.

[@gordocarbo]

@@mikerieck306 Got my 1st a couple yrs ago. Was super impressed how easy they are to use and quiet! Need to get my new cable on and do another set of heads.

[@MaerooBand]

May I know equipment for measurements before and after porting job.. 😅😊 fan from Malaysian with ❤❤❤

[@headgames]

You can use inside mics or snap gauges

[@mouaracing]

Hi Dave. After porting and sanding for 2 days my hands have been tingling. Do you use any gloves during porting and sanding to reduce the vibration?

[@davidparker9676]

You may have carpal tunnel syndrome. I have had to take a few weeks from porting to recover from numbness and tingling. There are hand and wrist exercises to help prolong your grind time tolerance. If it continues, you may find relief with carpal tunnel surgery.

[@headgames]

I use anti vibration gloves sometimes. But, with the electric grinder, and the burrs we use and grinding on aluminum makes for happy hands but the air grinder will beat up my hands for sure.

[@mikhailmazur7]

What’s name for yellow light bar you using?

[@jacksonedward7245]

Will those dies cut cast iron just as well?

[@headgames]

No they will not. Only aluminum.

[@mykehebert]

When do you think the burrs will be in stock again?

[@headgames]

Good question! We had a huge order that sold out in 3 days so now waiting on an even larger order which takes awhile.

[@headgames]

If you go on the website, you can make it so that you get a notification from us when they are in stock and people who do get first dibs on the inventory before it’s posted on the website.

[@greigthomson8475]

What! No dremel 😂

[@headgames]

no dremel ever!
