If your question pertains too the Re-chamfering after you have cut the ports shape differently ?
That I do by hand (Fingers) using first 600 grit wet/dry paper, then finished off with 1500.
Being the bore is chrome plated, all you really need to do is bevel lightly the chrome edge. A large radius like factory does prior to plated cannot be done.

If you look at the edges of the factory ports you will see a very pronounced bevel that was cut prior to the plating process. In areas that we cut doing porting mods, this bevel is completely cut away leaving a square 90* corner.

* If you run your finger across this sharp 90* corner it feels sharp. As you lightly sand this edge evenly, the sharpness you felt before will become a dull edge. If you look under strong light you can see the corner is slightly rounded. Thats is all one needs to do, eliminate the SHARP CORNERS on all ports cut upon that the piston and ring work against.

MANY engines built like posted race head to head with the big name tuners engines and are at NO disadvantage.

Best part is you did the engine mods yourself saving money :woohoo:
