what is the your point of view on using a cnc to porting the head?
how is porting the head done normally?
what do you think of the flow chart?

CNC in my opinion is the better way to to it, the old fashioned way was done by hand using a die grinder, the beauty of CNC is that all the ports will be matched exactly giving (possible) exact power outputs on each cylinder, and if your developing several heads together it is far quicker and easier let a machine do the hard work and to 0.005mm accuracy.

I tell you what they must have some good kit to achieve those tollerances!
I wish I knew how to operate a 5-axis CNC's I'd be in work all weekend making bits!
and for only an extra £100 they'll make it even better by finishing it by hand....Quote:

if we had five axis where i work i think i would be there every weekend maching any thing and everything aswell. unfortunatly we only have 3 axis comes in quite handy for some bits tho

We just spent £500k on a Mazak u8800 which will achieve positional (& repeat) accuracy of 7microns! I doubt you will get anywhere near 2.5microns (tenth of a thou) on a Bridgeport! maybe your decimal place in in the wrong place?Quote:

I ve bought a f4r engine in uk and the engine head has the same finish as yours, it looks the same as yours.
