WOW - what quality workmanship!!!! That is a port/polish fit for a king!!! I like how the burr 'occasionally' skipped along the mating surface for the gasket!!!!


I'm a'bettin' the owner of that car paid some ********** big bucks for a top end port/polish??????

Spill it Jeff - let's have the 'vendor' roast for this one!!

At least it's just the injector housings (I hope). They seem to be one part of the car that's not incredibly expensive.

I like to think I could do a slightly more even job than that, but that's a good example of why I'd never try something like porting unless it were on like a $5 part.

It has proven more difficult to port the inj. housings with the dremel shoved up Jeff's butt, but Rob is confident he can twist Jeff's ears just right to complete the job better than new!

I've heard from the owner and getting more details. Not looking pretty. I will leave it up to him if he wants to say anything.

I'm helping with the situation now.
