In this vid dave goes lightly over what valve guide reaming is and explains how and why we use a hand drill to ream the guide! Lots of good info in this one!
Straightforward and easy to understand, great vid. Would be interested to see how you polish cams after they've had contaminated oil run through. Also would be interested to hear your take on deck surface finish, does the head need to be milled every time it is serviced to get a fresh surface?
What is the style/model of reamer you're using? A lot of reamers I see for sale online look much shorter. I'm looking to enlarge my 5/16" valve guides to 11/32" on small block mopar magnum heads. thanks
Hello, over the winter i eanted to port my supercharger 1G-fe engine. It comes na stock, is there anything to look for when porting an cylinder gead with a "fuel econmic" design that is turned into a performance engine. Is there any way to know that i wont hit any cooling channels ?
I would just leave it alone unless your making some real power with it. 800+whp then worry about porting it. We have never done a 1G-FE to know dimensions on how big to make it. If you hear it an echo stop!
@@REPerformanceUK Thanks for the kind words! Great question! Because it's so much faster and more repeatable to get the correct reamer vs honing. We do still hone a few things but for the most part we ream all of our most common.
