    FYI people! .0015 thousands is the EXTREME tight side for side seal to corner seal clearance. Not recommended if you're using FACTORY corner seals as the side seal expansion can expand enough to break the corner seals in half. This built engine runs the solid corners. That's why they're getting away with such tightness. With factory corner seals the range is .002-.006.

    • @OverdriveMediaNZ
      @OverdriveMediaNZ 5 лет назад

      Nah bridgeport is pretty common in street cars, peripheral ports or monster ports are more of a race motor suited port. Essentially the bigger your intake ports are, the bigger your exhaust port needs to be , which means your exhaust has to be more free-flowing, which can make them extremely loud and just not usable on the street.

    • @wd8005
      @wd8005 5 лет назад

      @@OverdriveMediaNZ yeah i know what brideport is all about & peripheral but bridgeport is kinda the border of using the car in the street and have a nice drivable car right?? Brideport does cost the car to run with a high idle (1k or higher) or lumpy idle (classic brap rotary sound) + killing the low end grunt or basically the usable rpm range which is around 2k - 4k which is most street cars mostly do need..

    I hate adding my two cents on someone else's build however you're putting all this work into porting out the exhaust ports and everything else for performance yet you aren't going to do the water jacket mods? I understand there's probably 8 hours worth of modification into those ports at least however that's really not a quote-unquote performance mod that is a quote-unquote reliability mod which in my mind is far more important then doing an exhaust port especially when you don't want to race car. And exhaust Port is for power / performance it's not for reliability / efficiency however the coolant modifications are for reliability efficiency see where I'm coming from?. Not trying to sound like a dick or an a****** or some idiot stepping on someone else's build. I'm just saying reliability / efficiency is far more important then a performance mod like porting the exhaust port.
