need a final porting and maybe a trip to the machine shop to put a few more angles on the valve seats

Intake ports needed to be opened up they were choking my poor engine

CHOP CHOP!

here is what killed my ride!

goodbye 37.5 hello 45 seat angle

Improving air flow with a SERDI valve seat machine
