It is meant for the members of SPOC and is in relation to porting out cylinder heads on SOHC Saturns. A recent post made by Fonzo is what triggered my mind to think about this topic.   If ANYONE out there has ever worked on a port and polish of a SOHC cylinder engine, I would like to know what type of results you got from doing so. Also, if you had done any milling to the head, how much was taken off and what was the final compression ratio.   My experience with porting out heads has mostly been with cast iron heads such as those found on BB Chevy engines. Tweaking these heads to get upwards of 700 HP out of a streetable .060 over 454 takes patience and experience.   So….let me hear some opinions out there from those of you that have experience in this arena.   Thanks,   Scott W.

I have considered redoing my head for some time now, but wanted to know if you had done any and if you had any numbers for me.   Scott W. Thomas, President S.W. Thomas Consultants, Inc.

I have that sitting on my shelve awaiting my blowdryer.  There are 3 ways to do a cylinder head, 1)remove flashing and casting imperfections,2)Remove material in small amounts in Precise areas,3)gut it  After that it gets into the secrets of the trade.    The first pics are a #3' exhaust side port, before and after. The latest pics of my work are a #2, this cylinder head will be tested against an SPS head on the rollers very soon.  This is my 5th performance p&p and I have a signature style.Numbers talk more, so I will wait til then to let all the info out.
