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?

THink I bought both a 36 and 37, or 36 and 38, cant remember. Makes a hell of a weapon when dumped in a sock, too.

I was looking for one of those, but couldn't find it on Mcmaster website. Do you remember what name they are listed under?

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..

Here's a thought

Checking to see if they have smooth ones.

Can't find any that are 36 MM, but 1 7/16" gets awfully close

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
