On the intake side youre basiclly just cleaning up the poor factory porting.But the moter 101 tape from Don Gienger at G-TEAM will go over all of that and is well worth the investment. TB

Well like stated earlier you basically clean all rough edges without enlarging the port. The exhaust side the same also but i reduce it. And I cannot divulge that secret.

I think I may already know that secret from before ;).  I hope I'm thinking right ;).  I didn't know if one was to port it out big or just clean it up.

No not in the exhaust port. Think hard how would you get rid of the threads without grinding yet smooth when done then simply do your port work and you are finished.
