Ok, I thought and thought about this post. Its going to offend some people. I tried to think of a way to put this delicately, but I just cant. Why would I post this knowing its going to anger people. I want to try and put a stop to an alarming trend that I've noticed lately. People ruining their engines. Not everyone with a dremmel can mod engines. The following pics are from someone who just did flow mods. If done right maybe 10% performance gains. The way that the engine is in the pics 50% decreased engine life. The sad part is there are a lot worse than these posted here. People comment "good job" either to be polite or they just don't know what to look for. I think this is only escalting the problem. These are some of the better ones, but check my highlights in the pics. You may have to click the pic for full size. You should any way to see the pics in detail.
First pic, dremmel skip marks, scratches.
Second pic, pay close attention to the wavy line in the inside of the cut. Thats your chrome liner. A jagged line like that will cause the liner to peel or wear prematurely.
Another burr,
Forth pic, look at the line at the top of the port. See how uneven it is. The point is to improve flow. Ragged lines wont accomplish this.
And lastly, how much of this crank is left? Wow, I don't see that holding up very long. Look also at the wavy line where the crank was cut. I didnt highlight that.
Again sorry if I offended any of the amature modders on the site, but modding is an aquired skill that takes a lot of time and sacrificed engines. If your not willing to throw away a few engines to learn, don't pick this up as a hobby. If your just doing it ti learn and your willing to take a chance, thats fine, but not a good idea to offer your services to others unless you make sure they know that your practicing on their mill.
