Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I came back from saying good bye to Pops , went by the paint jail where they've actually begun taking my truck apart , boy howdy is that rust bad ! . they said they'll begin bead blasting my new cab Thursday 8/28 .
Looking at those fresh cylinder heads , looks good .
Mostly what the DIY'er can do best without ruining the heads by over porting is : unshroud the valve bosses as this is the # 1 pinch point in flow both intake and exhaust .
Never polish the intake ports ! they need to be rough to maintain the fuel mix ~ polishing the intake tracts allows fuel mist to separate and cling to the tract walls .
Polishing the exhaust ports and matching them to the exhaust manifold/header size gives HUGE gains in flow .
