I'm right there with you... But I would love to be able to change port timing if something is a limiting factor.

The nice thing about porting by the numbers, is you can expect predictable results from proven numbers... I was into a 460 and was able to give Wiggs a call and get a set of numbers that were tried and true work saw numbers... For that model...
The rest is up to the guy with the burr and sand paper...

I've been thinking about trying one myself. So far that's as far as I've got. Just thinking. I gather different saws get different treatment. What worries me is what to take out, where to take out, and how much to take out. And not have a bzzzzp, oops. What I need is a one on one porting 101.

 

[cobey]

[cobey]

It's not going to be much better tomorrow Carl, I see you have that JD 23 on the KC craigs list.

What is the deal? Every other thread seems somebody has the Do-it-Myself porting virus. You will never see me take a grinder to a piston or cylinder. I was showing my brother my saws this afternoon and explaining to him (as well as I can) what was done to them. He asked my when I was going to start building them. My answer was "Never".

Yeah, that's why I'm still in the thinking stage. I really enjoy bringing saws back from the dead and would hate to screw one up while trying to port it.

Numbers are a good thing I got some numbers from Stumpy on a after market kit for a 350/346. it is a nice cutting saw.

Man, I'm gone for a few days and there's more hacking, Steve needs a new hip, ice, snow and idiots are combining to make accidents and we're all going to a porting class at Matt's... Holy Hell!!!
Howdy Y'all!!!! Got the 7.3 dually picked up today. It is nice to have 6 wheel drive with diesel motivation and manual control!!!
