Wau! The whole thread is just  . I have done a little porting myself- for friends (watercooled mostly) and i can only imagine what takes to make thing i have seen in those pics. Amusing work! Just a question about the filler alloy used. I have heard both, to use 5356 and 4043 for the combustion chambers. Some say 5356 is not suitable for high temperature- prone to cracking, the other 4043 is just to soft. What is your take on this? What about the filler alloy for building up the outside of the head, for port enlarging? Thanks. Keep up the good work! ... and the pics.  |

Once again, the Amazing Denham makes the near impossible appear ordinary.
Excellent work, Jeff.

hello eugene. yes i use both 4043/5356. 5356 defenetly machines so much nicer thats why i use it in the chamber area plug holes and barrel serface area you do have to heat the head up a littel more than you would withwhat you would with 4043 so you wont get serface cracking. i have used 4043 in the chamber also but have to use alot of cooling/ cutting fluid when cuting the softer material. there are some heads that are harder than others so i pick and choose my #s. and yes the norm is 4043 out side the head like manifolds and top of intake ports and fins. thanks there keith i miss that old timer for sure. hey there tom. UD.
