I just gained several IQ points watching this. One very interesting detail is need to hold back on unshrouding the exhaust valve on the short side radius to not overwhelm the poorly flowing side of the port. This is where DV's extensive expertise shows. More is not always better.

Bo-port is in Carson City, NV. Bo has ported a bunch of these heads, has a stellar reputation in the Lima community, and stands by his work.

😮 I had no idea! First with the 2.3 Lima, then suddenly (and FINALLY) I can actually visualize what de-shrouding does and looks like effectively. Thank you for helping me to finally see it in my head what is going on when folks talk about de-shrouding. Maybe I should have said "ViZualize" ha! Thanks again Mr. Vizard, another great video. Edit - my god those are gorgeous looking chambers after you polished them. You can literally see the time, effort, & expertise

I currently own 3 turbo Lima engines. I’m currently throwing a stock one into my Merkur but I may have to port out another one as I’m going to be doing all the machine work on one of those engines myself! Love the video

Brings back memory of DV's ford 2.0 engine tuning book❤!! They both have heads with that charm of having inclined (as opposed to pushrod heads) and shifted valves (as opposed to hemi chamber overhead cam heads). Love them

Thank you so much for this slew of knowledge and expert advice. These are very capable engines with the right “attention to detail”. It really would have been something special had ford actually spent the money on the R&D that others such as cosworth did. I believe that the SVOs and Thunderbirds were “held back” a ton. These little 4 bangers were already out performing the bigger sellers (ie mustang gt). Let’s also not forget that by achieving high horsepower figures and keeping the overall weight down due to less moving parts = all around track weapon. Especially when things like turbo lag are addressed simultaneously. Thank you again and please keep producing this great ford content!

I also wanted to add… I have seen a few individuals who have mated the 16v DOHC Volvo heads as well. How do these compare as far as flow characteristics? Obviously the twin cam design allows for both, better flow over all, and high RPM yields. But, is it the best route? Or is a meticulously well thought out LIMA single cam just as good? What I have yet to see is a Volvo head swapped LIMA that has had extensive valve and cam work done? Just curious as to how these stack up. I am going to be building my 88 TBird and have made the choice to attempt to build the wildest (streetable) 2.3 because of its originality and its simplicity.

I ran the 2300 engine naturally aspirated in a pinto back in 1979 it was a good running car , i went to atco raceway with it and came home with the trophy just two of the cars i beat that day had big blocks in them a 440 roadrunner and a 55 chevy with open headers against my little 4 cylinder street car everyone thought I had a v8 in this car , they are a great little motor you just have to know what to do with them, I still keep all my tricks to myself with this one to this day

David on the transition of the semi plateau on exhaust i kinow you said the depth was going to be an issue is it because the plain leading up to the valve must be done within your scribed area i have your books and should do my home work and usually dont see much more than chinia v8 knockoffs which make an easy transition i will appreciate your or adams input ty

Have you ever considered having one of your Lima heads with all your proprietary combustion chamber and intake/exhaust port work…fully scanned by a computer ?and be able to CNC the same shape to every head sent to you…save you some work and will provide the next generation of Lima tuners …a legacy of your Art

Yes, it does. I believe it will also do 5 valve heads.

for 4 valves, he recomends, polyquad. good flow, and a lot better turbulent air makes better combustion and power

The Lima is interesting. It's built very, how should I say, agriculturally. It's more or less too dumb to die under most circumstances, and getting 1000hp out of one represents more than 10x what it would've ever made from factory. I think the later 2.5L variants eventually cracked the 100hp barrier /just/.

Always felt Ford US hated small cars. Start with the Cortina GT 1600cc Kent take it to 2000cc SOHC and ... less horsepower. Then with an example of a fair rally and autocross car deliver the Pinto. Seemed like the low performance and bad weight distribution with extra understeer built in was on the showroom to test drive and sell you a Mustang. What they considered their small starter car since you really should be driving off the lot in a LTD or a Lincoln Town Car. Always wondered... if the front axle was a bit more forward, the engine back just an inch, closer to corect geometry on suspension, and at least a portion of what the increased displacement should have delivered in horsepower. There would have been fewer Toyotas and Datsuns imported. Yes, probably fewer Mustangs sold, but many people wanted a smaller starter car so they either bought the Pinto anyway or just walked off the lot without buying the Mustang.

Would you do the inner ports first to get the flow and swirl numbers and only improve the outer to match?

I thought the 2.3L Lima had 2 spark plugs per cylinder. I had a 2.3L in a 1993 Ranger and it had 2 plugs per cylinder and I always thought that was Lima motor.

@kyledavis5912 3 ай бұрын

As the other reply says, it was the earlier 2.0/2.3 heads called the Lima and ran points ignition on distributor. Until about the mid 80's when they developed the twin plug iron head, the "Duraspark" head. The Duraspark II head which runs a fully electronic distributorless ignition came to the (Ranger) 2.3 in (I beleive) 1988-89 and carried on through the 1993 body change until the 2.5 came along.
