Porting and Polishing

Post by nicbeer »

Since the heads gone on the zook thinking of getting this done.

Anyone done it and what gains did it yield.

Also anyone else post up any mods that can be done to the sierra heads once there off.

I believe 1.6 exhaust valves fit in but what does this do for the head.

cheers

They imporve response in the motor especially noticable in low RPM, the smaller inlet keeps air speed quite high making for better atomisation of the air fuel mixture, so you get a good burn (There for good power) and the larger exhaust valve (if you have a better breating exhaust ) allows for better scavanging of the exhaust gasses from the combustion chamber..
This means that there is more room for air/fuel instead of burned gas's so you get a bit more bang per cycle.

This is most effective if there is a proper valve job and the area above the valve is properly blended allowing good flow..
While your at it, they can do some cool stuff with cams as well to allow a bit better mid range and top end without sacrificing bottom end torque.
