Anyone can cut, grind and shine up a port. Only someone that knows what they are doing can actually make that port flow and make horsepower.

What does a flow bench do? I tryed to port one of my goped cylinders, but I runied it! It was a motor that didnt run anyway! I just wanted to try!

ujslost · May 10th, 2007, 12:05 AM

a flow bench is a tool used to see how much cfm the ports will flow. usually substituting water for air since the heads aren't on a motor

MustangMatt96GT · May 10th, 2007, 12:07 AM

that is cool! I figured it was something like that, but the name is kinda wierd for it!

ujslost · May 10th, 2007, 12:19 AM

Yeah you need to be extremely careful porting and plishing heads yourself as one cylinder can outflow another and ruin the heads
