Unhappy Found the root of my problem

finally took apart the engine and found out what was my problem. take a look at the pics. all the housings and rotors are within specs. except for this. NOW the other problem is to street port or not to street port that is the question. what are your opinions.

I made 360 with my mods, just want to know what everyone thinks is better with all the mods I have, not worried about how much more power I make

I see no reason why not to at least do a mild port while the motor is apart. If you want send me the plates I'll set them up for you.

Ouch, they look in good shape minus the missing chunk from the water jacket grove. Make sure you find the missing metal pieces.

my main concern is how much the stock engine can take I have a t60-1 single turbo at 15psi, my friend says i should just polish it up get rid of the roughness but dont want to put it together again only for my engine to give, I know not likely but I have had nothing but trouble with this car since I have owned and havent givin up but if I put more money and takes a dump on me again I couldnt take it I'd give it up

^ only feasable on rebuild. Not offered with reman exchange. Lower gas milage. Harder to pass smog. Supporting fuel needed.

The real question is do you need a race port. 99% of the people here dont. Do you wanna just be able to say that you have a race ported motor or something? Large street ports have some extreme power potential. There are people putting down over 600 whp with them.

also what do you mean by race port? do you mean extend port, bridge port, or monster port? if i didn't have to worry about smog i might do a bridge for s&g. but i do, so street port it stays.
