How's my first exhaust port look?
It's a pineapple template I used on a trash housing. Let me know what you think I can take constructive critisism.
On this one for some reason the bottom edge looks wavy when it's really not
I noticed nobody seems to take the sharp bevel out of the inside of the sleeve, I did but I don't know if for some reason that's the wrong thing to do.
the top of the sleeve exit.
Let me know what you guys think!I'm more concerned with the actual geometry of the porting I did rather than a tiny dimple here or there. Am I ready to move on to my new housings or should I do my other used one first?

Looks very nice, but I am not a fan of that shape. I like a gradual opening and a flat closing edge.
You definitely need more bevel on the sides and especially the top. You need a 1-2mm bevel.

i am just and old farmer but its is to my understanding that the exhaust shape and diamater differs from boosted , all motor or laughing gas aplications in this case i think that it looks damm good to be your first exhaust port job i would do the other housing before you do your new ones remember opinoins are like belly buttons , whats works for me might not work for the next guy good luck on your build ,keep us posted

It's funny because I yet to see this assumption happen on any motors even the the ones turning 10k rpm with stock seals. It's funny because it does not happen on PP intake ports.
I always thought 'bevels' on ports had something to do with flow. Oh hell what do I know!
Not bad for your first port job. With a little more practise you will develop better hand control so as to keep the shapes/lines more linear.

You know what they say when you assume!

Looks pretty good except for the fact that it looks like you used the template upside-down If you flip it the other way around, then that's pretty much the way all my exhaust ports look after porting. I had bigger gains with the progressive port opening (rounded), and having the closing edge relatively flat (straight with rounded edges). My exhaust note also changed radically from having my port opening shape looking like yours, to that of what it would look like if you flipped your template around.

It's also a good thing you beveled your edges (I use a dremel with a diamond tipped bit for the final bevel all around. I saw a few pics a long time ago of chewed up atkins apex seals that resulted from un-beveled ports. The engine lasted a few thousand miles or so, but eventually the seals gave out. That's all I needed to see to convince me to bevel my ports.
Also, the progressive port opening that I mentioned will help with turbo spool.

Never knew there were differences.

We've done a fair bit of flow testing in the shop and we've found that a 1mm bevel nets about a 3% increase over a sharp edge, a 2mm bevel nets another 2%, and anything greater than 2mm begins to rapidly reduce flow.

How so, what you're basically looking for is finding a vortex generator that creates laminar flow around the edges of the port. 2mm seems to be the magic number that creates a nice boundary layer without encroaching on the unobstructed flow areas in the center of the port.
