When you get a port job done for your intake, do you port match the upper and lower together? Or do you port match the lower and the heads? It seems to me the upper and lower would already match perfectly and you would want to port match the intake to heads... am I wrong?</P>

port match the lower intake to the heads and then the upper port matched to the lower

 

Dont the upper and lower match already? That would make sense to me...

 

yes but you want to open those up and make them a lil bigger and smooth them out</P>

Oh ok... Is polishing smoothing it out even more?</P>

 

polishing is when you make it smooth as glass, porting is the actual removing of metal

 

Ok... how much does this kind of thing run at a reputable place? For both porting and polishing?</P>

 

port to remove casting crap and to open the ports a lil more...then gradually use a finer grit stone/ paper to polish it to a slick finish

 

They charge by the hour. Around here it's like $57.00 a hour. Your best bet is to take it to a machine shop and just ask them.

 

you'd have to contact your local shop about the prices....personally i'd do it myself but I know how...you can purchase books and read articles then buy a porting kit and do it yourself</P>
