Default Head Porting Pic/Question
Is this normal or have any of you seen this on aftermarket ported heads? Porting has opened one of the rocker bolt holes into each intake runner....

This is looking up into the roof of an intake runner

Very normal. Put sealer on the rocket bolts to keep oil from being sucked down threads.

yea it is normal, Good luck with them. Make sure the RTV that you use is cat friendly if you are running them. Some are not and will destroy your catalysts.

Blue loctite will also seal the threads as well as help keep the bolts tight.
