Porting Question

There's water around the whole port,so what.
After bowl and short turn work...the flow numbers jump with straightening the roof..they can go from 145/155 to 175 or more.Thats what happens on my bench
The roof kink is there to accommodate the water jacket. Grind too much you'll find water. I've cut these heads up with a band saw, some castings are thinker than others through that area. I've worked over these ports to 170ish cfm with out touching the roof kink then blended it in with only 3-4 cfm gains, not worth the risk IMO.
