Edelbrock RPM Olds 455 Head Porting
The scariest thing I ever did was port a set of new Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads. My first attempt at porting any cylinder head. I raised the roof .200" and dropped the floor .040". It's best to leave the floor alone or raise it by filling with epoxy. Porting kit by Mondello.
Death of a turbo

"How To" Port polish an intake manifold
In this video I show you how to port polish an intake manifold. Remember to wear your safety gear and take your time. The intake itself took roughly 2 hours to polish. Removal of the head is recommended before any grinding or polishing to ensure none of the filings make it into the cylinder bore and cause damage to the cylinder walls.

Volvo Engine head porting/ matching exhaust
Gasket matching my Exhaust port on the head.
Nothing spectacular and quite boring to watch but quite tricky to do.
The point on this "process" is to align correctly the Exhaust port with the Exhaust manifold to allow gas to flow without turbulence.
it can exit faster and let more fresh air come inside the cylinder.
In the same time the shape of this port is important :
the very light conical shape is a good and reliable design for Exhaust.
the point is to grind very far to have a tight curve and not only grind to match.
