    .150 wider on each exhaust port at the top, make sure you radius them when finished. Clean up the rod slot and match the intakes being careful to maintain original angle since you are not looking for a high rpm engine.

    Just starting a v4 looper for a 15' allison,

    Any thing different on the V4 ?

    Will the V8 Finger ported piston w/ block mods work ok in the V4, or is there a better direction ?

    What needs to be done to the roof angle of the intake ports for higher rpm?

    maintain the transferport angle is the most difficult part, -the alucasting is not nearly in sync with the sleeves, so it needs severe grinding!

    With the help of a small mirror, progress is being made, without changing the angles...

    Just FYI, 0.039375 is incorrect. 0.039370 is correct. Or 0.03937007874015748031496062992126 if you get picky.

    Much easier to work the other way since the inch is exactly 25.4 millimeters which I think is much easier to remember.

    .03937 is plenty accurate for almost anything done in a machine shop. Especially since there are a couple of zeros after the 7.

    And 25.4 is more than OK, it is the absolute definition of millimeters per inch and provides a perfect conversion.

    39.37 inches per meter was the old accepted standard until the late 1950's. 25.4 mm per inch is the current standard for conversion. In any case there is only .0002% difference between the two standards.

    You need an angle head to do the roofs of the transfers.

    Higher rpm you the roof angle gets closer to 90 degrees and transfer/boost/finger port heights change a bit

    Clean up the rod slot...
    on small high revving case-fed motors, I have ported/created a "direct passage" from the crankcase(rodslot)to the transfer boost/aux-port, this procedure has been succesful by allowing the fresh charge to enter direct into the boostport as soon as the piston starts its upgoing movement.
    Do you have any experience of this on outboards? In this case the boost port don't have to rely on the piston-window...
    The yellow tape in the pic is an attempt to describe my ideaClick image for larger version.
