If the mod would make this a sticky then anyone will be able to find it.

hehe, dig the pic of the hand drill. Pretty crude but I guess it gets the job done if you have steady hands.

Why haven't they made this a sticky yet? maybe clean up the useless posts like this one.

Do the mods not want the porting secrets to get out?

I agree with the above post . I don't see much usefullness especially with the work thats been shown, the only usefullness I'd see others getting from this is the experts answers and advice. Probly why this isnt a sticky and shouldnt need to be.

it is not meant to be the ultimate professional porting thread. it is a very good thread. it shows how to get started in building your skills in porting. he is giving you a head start in getting the bits that are needed, which is a big help. i will add also that cratex works great for polishing metal. it should be a sticky but the advertisers won't allow it, it is all about the money.

Just remember on the polishing of the intake ports that you DON'T do a mirror finish, because that will overall decree the flow.

Same reason that a golf ball has dents in it.

But that Cratex is good stuff

How exactly does not making this thread a sticky benefit the 'advertisers' ?

i don't go to nopistons.com so i don't know who advertises there. i know you are only 23 years old but you will learn that it is all about money with everything in life.
