i need to see what it should looks like for tomorow. please help me i have my head already off from the car!
I have a vague idea but i just want to be a lot more sure dont want to scrap the head lol
what i need to know is more clearly: can i remove the hump in the middle of the intake exhaust manifold port side ?
2.2 and 2200 have the same port ?
hey Aaron btw do you remember my aol screenname cause i dont lol
damnit not aol i mean AIM
Some say remove it, some say keep it.
I say keep it. It's there to keep the exhast velocity up and reduce reversion, unless you're going to boost it. GM desigend this engine for low to mid range torque, which this helps, by keeping the exhaust gas velocity up.The Chevy Power Guide (6th Edition, 1988) says to leave it in there.
Others say remove it, it just impeads the flow. I find this to be true only with motors with large amounts of boost, not the normal volumes of boost found with the turbo kits that are available.
6th person telling me to keep it, i will just port around it and sharpen the bump a lil bit
are you talking about the hump infront of the valve guide?
listening..
14.82 @ 97 mph
i left it on both the intake and exhaust side...
phlatcav who did your port job?

Place called AMS racing in E-town Kentucky. They do mostly engines for track cars but when I walked in the door with my 2200 head he knew exactly what it was and what it came from

thats the 2200 intake ports for ya, they go into the head at an angle as to make room for the pushrods commig up to the rockers.but for a full p&p, new valve guides and seals and an awesome valve job and assembly they charged me about 500.
thats also with pressure testing and stress test on the valvesprings
