the holes are a waist of time. the air will barley flow through that compared to the full eyebrow. not to mention that it probably causes excess side seal ware, due to it coming in and out of contact with the side housings. that's just speculation on what I think. yeah if I were to drill my bridge, I'd put them all together and port it smooth. But I think I'll leave the bridgeport to the pros, I'll do the street port. I've got many hours on a die grinder. it will only be a half bridge, so won't cost me too much to just have it done. but that's a year or so away. I need to get a new job that's lame that he didn't even disclose the ports and if he infact did that probably knew damb well what the issue is. but if the port was good, it would of been a nice bonus.

Out of curriousity, how much did you pay for this huge paper weight? If you don't mind me asking. you could use the rotors, maybe the apex seals, if there within spec. stationary gears, e shaft, counterweights. on the bright side of things, those things would be nice to have around when you get your next core. just don't buy from that guy again.

cheese port is only for a semi bridge port sound, they don't actually flow worth a crap for any real performance gains, if anything it might actually disrupt airflow to the point of hindering performance.

Everyone I would like for you all to know that User JdmFC3, the guy I received the motor from is willing to make good. He said he bought the car from someone himself and he did not do the port job, nor did he have knowledge of it. He has made an offer of good will that I will be accepting. Some cash and a part that I will need, so in all fairness, I would like to retract any negative statements about him, and would like to say that he didnt have to make the offer he did, but being that he has, that shows good character.
