You can see witness of where the wing was but it is pretty much entirely gone.


They get thin in the back of the bowl when that wing is cut out.

Or you could remove your feelings, insert a rebuttal, and voila, we d be reading an interesting discussion. You know, like how they do on car forums.

Does one need to port themselves to know what makes a port work? One can recognize and appreciate good porting work without having the talent to do it himself.
You like to drop a bunch of names who do porting, besides yourself.
I've quit paying attention to people with major attitude... because of people like you.
Don't worry, you will not be missed....

Z0sicktanner has been porting heads for many years and knows his way around a bench very well. What’s puzzling is that he’s responding to a thread that was replied to almost 3 years ago. I haven’t seen him on here in awhile, and his knowledge will be missed. Too bad he doesn’t know who WE TODD DID actually is. I wish engine builders would use their real life names here. It would eliminate fussy stuff like this.

I wondered if I was the only one to notice that. I was also wondering how he ended up on a 3 year old thread. Probably the mobile site strikes again.

Yeah, but then again, where would Tech be without the drama. Mobile site needs work no doubt.

Yeah, I just read his posts further up and saw that. I edited my post to reflect this.
His attitude still sucks, though....

No when your told your wrong for 15 years it gets old. like all the info I gave about the valve guides to be banned from platforms for telling the truth. truth is people don't want the truth unless its from someone with so called authority on the subject. Nothing I have ever posted was false or I wouldn't post it. from my own porting research R&D testing at the track. reason I posted is because I logged in an seen the reply to my last post. didnt look at the date. sorry i've went back an deleted all my post now...good luck to you guys. Seems my info stands.

You may not remember me saying it Takes Many Moons to get the CID matched to a particular Combination. 👍 about a Wks time+. Was told for the Time and $ 👉 High Ram. Ole Question of why ER didn't use the CID on the EMC Build....besides the obvious x2 4500's and the perfect runner length for the EMC event.

No worries, I'm not trying to ban you. Just do me a favor and take a break from posting pictures of your work. It looks like you're showcasing your abilities for your business and it's causing some complaints. Technical discussion and debate is perfectly fine, though, just take it easy on the pictures and videos of your work for a while.

I honestly can’t stand this site and the way it drives people away and restricts discussion. Don’t blame you at all for having a chip on your shoulder. There’s only a few of us idiots that even come around this place anymore and it’s a shame.

I only asked you to cool it for awhile because you were breaking the rules. That didn't mean that you were permanently banned from posting pics or video. Here's the picture of our conversation:



And HERE is the thread and a post where you were trying to generate traffic to your page, which is against the rules.
