port work question
i was practicing doing a bridge port on a s5 6 port iron just to get the feel for the metal and blending everything, when i port a hole straight to what i think is a coolant passage? its right on the main port as i worked my way inward. this worries me a bit as i am about to do the same porting on a s5 4 port iron. Can anyone confirm this is normal on 6 ports? The iron that i have thats bridported obviously didnt have this problem and its a 4 port
thanks

the only place in the port that you're likely to hit water is in the bowl, so i'll assume that's where you poked a hole through it. i may also go as far as to guess that it was the primaries. i've yet to handle any S5 housings, but based on the S4s and S6s that i've done, i'd say the primaries are what you MUST be careful with whether 6-port or 4-port. comparatively speaking, the secondaries give you much more room.
