I don't have much experience with 6-ports but I know I'd never make a bridge-port even close to that thin. I honestly wouldn't expect that to last much at all.

Yeah that looks way thin, and don't always believe what others tell you.

Well, It's not like the corner seal has to ride over it like a bridgey.

Bridges crack because of stresses from heat cycling. Nothing to do with the corner seal.

That section definitely looks too thin. I think it'll probably break due to heat cycling and fall into the chamber. Also, you need to "scissor" the aux port. (The top outer corner needs to be higher than the top inner corner to allow the side seal to ride across it properly) If you do some searching here and on nopistons.com (nopistons actually has a complete section devoted to building and porting) you will find a lot of info on porting and what has worked for others.
