Amazing work. Are you going to be balancing the rotating assembly yourself?

Don't be afraid to go a little deeper with the port phasing, many I've seen go nearly right to the bathtub and sideseal! Might help encourage early-opening flow...

Thanks! Ive seen those rotors also but this version is a little bit moderate, i would get better flow if i went bigger though... This type of modification will open ports 30 degrees earlier..

I wont balance them my self, dont have the equipment unfortunately.
