Cylinder Porting DIY

[OConnor Racing]

This is part one of what looks like a five or six part series on porting your own cylinder. I'll keep posting here as I finish them. Take your time and have fun.

Nice fixture you built ken....Nice porting bench set up.....
Good choose of tool box you bought, Its got a good name plate on it...

 

[OConnor Racing]

Thanks Angus. The fixture is pretty cool. Once the cylinder is mounted, you can swivel it 360 degrees horizontally and vertically.

Nice, I will be building one....
That was a good point to the members about the dangers of breathing the carbon in the ex port...I use a blast cabinet to remove the carbon, before any port work is started...

 

[OConnor Racing]

Yup. Carbon will give ya black boogers. I'm doing more vids today but this will never be done by the end of the day. The dremel cuts sooooooo slow. Listen to the little guy vibrate and slow down as soon as it touches the port. It's pretty beat up. The bearings in the chuck are toast. I usually use 4 - 5 Foredom #8 handpieces loaded with different tools. Makes things go much faster.

 

[OConnor Racing]

I'll take the base of the mount apart and send you some pics and measurements. The ball and clamp on the base may be a PITA.

We both know how much the correct porting tools cost, it can be a huge investment

 

[OConnor Racing]

I think I paid like $400 for my 90 degree head about 15 years ago but it's still going strong.
