If you’re going to attempt it, the only other way to do it beside a laser scan is to cut open a junk head on port centerline for the dimensionality. You won’t be able to properly measure roof and floor angles, tapers, etc and those make huge differences in how a port flows.

RGR that. I hear you. The head is an AEB 1.8T. The one I have is opened up quite a bit from stock.

I might have to take you up on the flow bench actually for the head. would be nice to know what it does over stock from the porting. also I need 5 valves, valve lash checked becasue they are new when I got it from the guy. I have all the specs on the cams too, ill bring all that. I will call you in the AM, well, I see its 1:30am… I will call you later today! lol

and if you dont mind, I promis I wont sell your design, could you send me yettis solidworks file so I can gawk over it? :ninja
