Hi all. I got a pinto head from my pal, John Folan from Galway. The head was fitted with rimflow valves and he said an HT cam, question is I have doubts regarding the port size and the area after the seat, it has a ridge on it that I think will drastically affect flow..any comments lads? I need to know where i need to remove some metal before I do some porting, thanks

the seats want a 60 degree bottom cut to thin down and smooth out flow over the seats,
a sharp turn just after the seat where the port turns the corner on the exhaust will not effect flow

Thanks,so i guess my mate is correct in telling me that I should not mess with the head. He said it came of from a 2.4 monster pinto and was snapping at the heels of cossies back home. The cam was a kent cam, kent stamp was removed and the lobes re-grounded and stamped with numerous 8's, said it was an HT mark.

Btw, am I seeing the wrong ? Is not this head skimmed too much especially for a 2.4 engine ? I can not see the short turn radius to make any comment. The chamber looks pretty standart and nothing is wrong with that.

in the first picture, is that a crack in the chamber going threw the spark plug thread?
its not dead till it's buried!

Hi, I check it since I might have not noticed it. Thank God its not a crack, its just the rough finish of that side of the chamber. Thanks
