Title: Who is porting your heads in Europe these days? Post by: alex d on May 22, 2017, 14:56:31 pm Most big names are in the US, but with all the shipping and customs hassle, I'm wondering who's delivering nice heads in Europe nowadays?

Title: Re: Who is porting your heads in Europe these days? Post by: BeetleBug on May 23, 2017, 07:23:59 am Tor Øyvind Skinne - aka Skinne Racing here in Norway. Porting is what he do and the results speaks for them selves. Quite a few guys here is now running his heads with good results. You also have JPM aka Johannes Persson in Sweden. He is a genuine nice guy that has supported our hobby for ages and the results are impressive.
Or you can study a pair of really nice ported heads and do the work yourselves. The last option is of course to buy a pair of CNC ported heads and use them as they come. -BB- Title: Re: Who is porting your heads in Europe these days?

Do you have to send them together with the manifolds and carbs so it can be match ported?

Do you have to send them together with the manifolds and carbs so it can be match ported? I paid approx £1'000 to have my Scat Wedge Ports welded alot, ported alot, guides taken out and cut/grinded for flow, valves cut, seats re-done, chamber re-worked, and having the manifold stud spacing moved outward, to allow for even bigger ports.. He also shimmed the valve springs without me asking, as they were a bit "loose". For the amount of work put into them, I'd say that's cheap! More "normal" jobs are cheaper than this one of course. ::) Could have the manifolds done for another £100 if I wanted to. But with the extended stud spacing, I have to have the manifolds made before he can port them.. :P Title: Re: Who is porting your heads in Europe these days? Post by: JeeWee on June 01, 2017, 10:16:04 am that's cheap indeed, I did my own manifolds and heads recently, spend roughly 8 hours per head and 3 hours per manifold, ok it was the first time I did so and don't have a lot of tools, but just used common sense, but I do see that there is a lot of work involved!
