look at this artist at work

[@dreednlb]

Been waiting for this. The KA doesn’t get near the love it deserves.

[@dougstenger4085]

I love watching you port heads. It looks like art.

[@headgames]

It is! Thanks for your kind words

[@MaerooBand]

Wow great information thanks for sharing... ❤❤❤👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

[@andrewrigg4905]

Really educational. Thanks for showing us your tips and tricks.

[@headgames]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi Dave A great explanation accompanied by great work, thank you very much. With you I have learned a lot. Regards Goyo

[@headgames]

Thank you sir! Glad you got something out of it

[@weithmichaelsen7398]

Agree with Goyo. Especially the angel when filming. Finally you can see whats going on. But, a couple of times Dave mention (you cant build it up again) when talking about grinding to much. As far as i know there's things that work's fore this purpuse. JB-welding for exampel. Maybe Dave got reasons for not using things like that.

[@headgames]

there is nothing that can go in there that would stay in a port or that you could possibly shape. Once it is gone, it is gone forever.

[@GTRliffe]

using a broken head, would be good to see a demonstration of what happens when you over-port with before and after would be good to see what happens when the throat goes from stock too much showing the numbers in between the internet doesn't have enough Japanese-head content

[@headgames]

hmmm...you might be onto something there. Like intentionally hurt it, but hurt it in a way we have seen people hurt them. And maybe show what actually works.

[@loganwaterhouse587]

Id be curious to know power this ends up making once its together. And with what you do about fitting big enough camshafts in the top of it.

[@headgames]

some big ass JWT cams. We will probably do something for a follow up.

[@nesmio7378]

How much time roughly is a port job like this from start to finish? (highly depends case by case, I know - but roughly?)

[@headgames]

7-9hrs for port and sand.

[@ngt84]

Didnt you flatten out the short turn radius a lot or it just appears like that ?

[@headgames]

Definitely didn’t flatten it out on the intake. The exhaust is like that oem if that’s what your referring too.

[@manitoublack]

So... Final flow bench results?

[@mrphiscal]

He is waiting for VTEC to kick in for final results.

[@headgames]

I explained that I am not flowing it for KZbin. And it would need to be sanded, guides installed, valve job before we could flow it.

[@markg8703]

Where can I find that burr tool

[@headgames]

Sold out at this time, but you can hit the NOTIFY ME and get it when it is back in stock. headgamesmotorworks.com

What's the benefits over not porting

[@headgames]

Benefits over not porting it is added airflow, and added whp

[@ogadam1]

@@headgames is it noticable gains, or is it trying to squeeze every cubic inch out of this platform?

[@ogadam1]

@@Schmitty_Luv2 are you acoustic? Literally explained nothing about it benefiting this platform. KAs intake was designed for high compression with fluid dynamics in mind

[@pumafeet10]

Port my ford duratec for me!

[@headgames]

We don’t port those
