Default 36mm Ball Gage

OK. Winter is coming and the project is porting the IH/Plenum and heads. Where do you get the famous 36mm ball gage to check port size?

The heads? Are you doing the just the port matching or going after the whole head to improve flow?

For the heads it is almost worth it to send them out..

I agree 1 7/16" is just shy of 36.5 mm
Dom,if you order from Mcmaster order me a 1 7/16" i'll pay you for it.

Thanks
Pete
