The battle to make clean, usable power is won or lost at the cylinder heads. Here's a simple how-to that anyone can follow and duplicate at home using nothing but basic tools and a little bit of time.

This is not so much a port, but prep and quality control for a casting that received minimal basic machining, then kicked out the door by the car company that made it. Call this a good cleanup that anyone can do, and if you want to hand it over to a porter, he can concentrate on what moves flowbench numbers. The large wall of casting flash in that bowl is beyond sad: they really didn't give a rip. If that broke loose, it's enough to destroy an otherwise good engine. It makes me think if I went back to the 60s/70s in a time machine [to place a few key rides in the family to enjoy later], the first thing I would do on every car is yank the heads off, and fix the sloppy work just like this vid shows. Could be fun, watching the dealer go slack jawed as I demand heads pulled on a brand new car before it leaves the lot...and I would not budge: no sale without my inspection/cleanup.

*>>>* One other tip I'd give - especially for beginners - is to start with the port areas first to get a feel for how much material the carbide bit removes with every pass you make, and how it "feels" as the bit cuts away material. You really want to get a feel for it before doing the more intricate areas of the bowls. You're learning, so if you make any minor mistakes, the ports are a good place to learn because they are more forgiving of any minor mistakes you may make. Get a feel for how your bit cuts and feels with the ports first before doing the bowls. 👍 That, and wear safety goggles to keep metal debris out of your eyes!

Yes!!! Safety glasses *and* face shield. Those chips fly everywhere. The stronger the motor in your die grinder the more they fly. I had a painful trip to the ER to remove a chip from my cornea. T tried to flush it, brush it, and flick it away by myself, but just made it worse. Even tried a magnet. I had some pretty good wrap around safety glasses, but apparently not good enough in that perfect storm of chips. Next time I'll add goggles or face shield to my list of required PPE.

The best way to ensure even firing and even cylinder contribution is exactly what Tony showed here, just form the ports to the shape the casting was intended to be so they are all the same size and shape for smooth, even flow.

Professional engine builders might have fancier tools to do it with, but they're all essentially just a die grinder, and they also do it by hand. Mass manufacturing practices cause the castings to rarely come out anywhere close to the exact measurements, shapes, and designs that the engineers intended when they were drafting the actual blueprints. The only way to make the castings match the original design is to reshape them... with a die grinder... by hand.

Great video; direct and simple to follow instructions. I used the same Harbor Freight Die grinder and have one suggestion: use a speed control. I bought designed for a router (universal motor) for around $20. This allowed me to slow the die grinder and the difference in controllability and smoothness of cut with the carbide burr was amazing. I made it most of the way through one head before I tried it and as a result the second head went much faster and I had better control. An added bonus was that my hands didn't feel like they were buzzing after doing the second head.

Of course, I concur with many comments about eye protection, and I would also suggest hearing protection (piano tuner here). Gloves? Nah... not with this; I'd rather feel the tool here. And we need not worry about Uncle Tony's eye protection - when he sneezes, he probably just holds his nose and blasts metal shavings all over the room.

See, this right here is what I was trying to explain to a friend!!! That as long as you clean up the ports, remove casting flaws and make sure the area behind the valve has good flow potential, it would open up some extra power. It isn't just about opening the ports as big as they can go, but just cleaning up the path already provided. And I had experience with that with a high compression Honda B18A1 that started out with just a basic clean up of the intake and exhaust ports, what little work was needed. This said, when the head was fully ported to match the new performance intake manifold... there was an even bigger gain. This said, nothing compares to the now VTEC head on the same high compression B18A1, with its port work done and its performance intake manifold.

“Let your vision be like water making its way through the ports. Grind off anything that is assertive to your flow, but adjust the object impeding your flow, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves into atomized flow of gasses into and out of the cylinder. Empty your obstructions to flow, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a port, it becomes the port. You put water into a cylinder and it becomes the cylinder. You compress it by a piston, it becomes highly explosive. Now, air fuel mixture can flow or it can crash. Be water flowing, my friend.” : Uncle Tony or Bruce or someone I forget

a good tip especially for people who may not to confident with a die grinder and/or uncomfortable working around the seats, look into getting some guards 3d printed to protect them. the ones I made for my engine were just 1.5mm thick and cover the contact area of the seat and 2mm below it. if the cutting head of the burr hits them it will grind through in about 2 seconds, but that's 2 extra seconds to get the cutter away from the seat when it would have instantly damaged them without the guard.

Thanks for that live feed UT! I was really enjoying the head porting footage. This video reminds me of old headbyts YT channel and his in depth explanation and guidance of the why's and how less is more until it's a race motor. Really explaining the importance of low lift flow and the low hanging fruit providing the butt Dyno gains for a street build. I am super excited to see the results. I am sure that the area under the curve below 4000 will be impressive and rewarding. Keep it up.

I have been abusing a carbide bit for like 10 years. Recently I used it to open holes I was trying to drill in 3/8” plate. I drilled a pilot hole and opened the hole up to 4/5” diameter. Had a bowl of water. Heat cycling that bitch all day for a week. Yeah it’s got a few teeth missing. But damn a good one is worth a thousand drill bits.

Fabulous tutorial. I've never seen such a straight forward example of how to do a basic port cleanup and what that might produce. I feel confident to try my own now. Message? "Stick to the basic cleanup and don't go crazy. You can't miss. Got it!"

Thank you Uncle Tony. I didn't realize this would be that easy.. I just started on my 69 273 Dart and even I can handle this. It always scared me but after watching your video it's a piece of cake. 👍

Fastenal sell some of the absolute best dill bits, deburring tools, fasteners, and just about anything else you need. We have one near me and they are great. You can also ship though them but it is expensive
