Nothing more therapeutic than sitting listening to music and porting . It's crazy how I hate starting the procedure, but once I'm done, I feel 100X better. Thank you for sharing knowledge it's much appreciated. GOD BLESS.
Pete great video, a buddy i use to work with , his dad owned a race engine build shop in Winnipeg called Ken's Kustom Auto and i drive old Volvo 240's, nothing exciting to you i know, i needed so head work done , i blew a head gasket, so i talked to him and just by chance he did all the warranty head work for Porsche,Audi,BMW,Volvo and Mercedes, so he was good, he took the head from my Volvo to completely redo everything on it, it had just under 130k miles on it, everything new went into it, asked if i wanted the head ports cleaned up, i said sure, he had to plane just under 2 thosounds off it, i got lucky, then asked for my intake manifold and polished it up the size between the manifold and intake port of the head were already really close, so he did that and asked if i wanted to upgrade my valve springs, i said sure and asked what is the gain, he told me right around 700 rpms at the top end, awesome, and we stuck a camshaft from the European Volvo , the sister car to mine, was like 25 to 30 hp more, i said yes, we got it all put back together which i did with his son and i was very surprised how much more freely it revved to stock, i did a break of 500 miles changed the oil checked the valve clearance only had to adjust it by 2-3 thousand, I can say it put a smile on my face , it was allot more lively from 3200 to 6900 rpms, in all i owed him for the work with parts/tax a bit under 1900.00 bucks and that included all the gaskets to, this was 2002/2003, it use to lay a 3 foot strip after this it did almost 9 feet, yes 40 and still felt like a kid,LOL, a i did need a new clutch in May of that year, these things had valves the size of a SBC to my surprise 👍
Pete you rock brother. I came to the states a while ago and had the privilege to help build some off shore speed boats n nostalgia top fuel stuff. Was amazing. My heart broke when I had to leave. I now live vicariously thru you! Lol. Will make it back one day if it's the last thing I do!!
i port matched and did some porting on my 2.8L 89 camaro intake and heads when i rebuilt it. amazing difference, pulled way past redline and beat other v8 camaro's. my friend back in the 90's loved porting heads, same guy that would say he was "polishing turds" building cars back to stock with the wildest motor he could afford to build with hand me down parts and hours of porting. my porting friend was a long hair into rock, if he wasnt wrenching he was in his room on the bass. this channel takes me right back haha thanks
I have to say my hat's off to you with your no nonsense to the point approach explaining what your doing and why , thanks for sharing your knowledge with the guys on CZcams to help someone who doesn't maybe understand improving performance, great job 👍
Love it Pete... Keep on exposing how much butchery is really out there... It takes Benjamin's to go fast .. You rock on all facets.. Hell yeah brother!!!
I love watching you make magic with a flex shaft . I used one of these for several years doing jewelry . I can't imagine moving the amount of material as you do. Looks great ,very impressive.
Between watching you massage the intake and playing the guitar, it kicked off some carpal tunnel sympathy pains. I spent a lot of time over the years with Dumore grinders repairing/polishing plastic injection molds for work and doing some occasional port matching for my need for speed. I can't really say i miss it, LOL!
When I ported a chinese manifold I hit some large fissures in the casting and they outgassed when we breached them with the die grinder. One smelled like soy sauce, one smelled like burnt skin, one smelled unique.....
I had to hit pause.... go back a couple of videos to watch the intro... Yeah, the "I Can't Wait" part. I just love that part where he has to do it excited.
I had no idea that when I was voting for the new theme song that Pete actually wrote and played that shit on his guitar! It's so cool to watch you play in the inset picture. I am impressed Pete!! Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching lol
Another great episode! Yeah hogging out all of that aluminum is a tedious job. But, it gets results! Nice job on that work too. “I can’t wait” to see how much power you gain.
If someone had told me 20 years ago V8 performance intakes would be coming from China I would have laughed at them. It took an AMERICAN to make this one right though! Good stuff, Pete! And, awesome tunes as always.
Hey Pete Port matching is definitely free horsepower but it takes work. Do you prefer polished intake runners or leave them alone. You are the man Pete you probably forgotten more than most will know LOL
Very IMPRESSED. More impressed with the music because I cant carry a tune in a 55 gallon drum. LOL.. Well done brother, WELL DONE! I port and like you said, in my early years. Mine gets the job done and I can live with that. MOTO,, If you want improvement porting, Become a MOLICULE of air. Make that path easier and you will go places.
I've done A LOT of porting on everything from drag/circle track, motorcycle heads and two stroke cylinders.Mad respect for people who know how to get "free" horsepower.😮😮
You are awesome sir really respect all the hard work you put into this. It’s really enjoyable to watch a professional and you’re really good at explaining things. I appreciate it. I may never build an engine like that but it sure is cool to watch. Thank you for all the hard work you do, really appreciate it. Thank you, sir.
Man you could use a Dotco belt sander will really help doing intake floors and anything else you want to keep flat or straight. Good stuff dude keep it up 👍
Great content. I have thought about doing some more port work to my Sullivan intake on my 4.6 mod motor. I did the gasket matching but feel like after watching the video I need to do more on my plenum volume. Love the channel Pete keep on killing it my friend 💪
I built up a LA360 years ago stock bottom end I match the weights for each of the rods and pistons so it was better balanced the heads i put 202 valves in intake side ported them just cleaned everything up mainly and made the ports match the gaskets intake and exhaust side and header . M1 Mopar intake match ported that too 750 DP it was 8.5 to 1 stock but I did plane the heads and block to clean them up so might of been 9.5 in the end I also put a Mopar Purple Camshaft in it too about 500 lift i cant remember what part number it was now to long ago . but everyone said it wouldn't run any good but man did it pull hard it made 425 hp from memory . i have seen so guys just buy parts and pull them together but not do anything to make the parts work together . but a little port matching and a little blending and clean up on stock parts will wakeup a stock engine if you have a few basic tools
About 50 years ago, there was an article about adding a shaped hump in the plenum to forse the air into the runners. Have you ever seen anything about this ?
This is what i refer to as Sleeper mods you can't see them and have some of the Largest gains.. About to Port Match a set of A-Team China Heads AKA Vortec Clones for my 337 with Performer RPM Intake as i Pull With my Fishing Truck 84 S10 SportXt Cab Short..
That's something you can practice on a weed eater first too. Srsly, get a feel of cutting aluminum compared to steel and whatnot. Then when you screw up you're only out $20 for a used weedeater instead of having to call Pete, heh heh.
Pete's channel is one of those where you hit the like button before you watch the video because you just know it's gonna be that good.
Never even realized I was doing that until just now lol

@@tj5682 ah, thanks. Only watched a couple episodes of that one. 🙂
Pete, I'm Reallly glad I found your channel a while ago! The humor, personality, & music are refreshing these days. Learning me something is good too.
I need a 3 min version of the theme song .
Real good at lots of stuff. The time lapse music fit real well with the monotony of the porting work , true artistry .
Best background music on CZcams
Not kidding. Woke up over the weekend with your song as my earworm. Assimilation is complete.
Nothing more therapeutic than sitting listening to music and porting . It's crazy how I hate starting the procedure, but once I'm done, I feel 100X better. Thank you for sharing knowledge it's much appreciated. GOD BLESS.
Something about the way your drum kit is mic'd just agrees with my listening setup, crispy snaps are on point!

Ken is still rockin! Does all my race engine machining. Best in our province.
I’ve watched this video twice today to hear polishing turds.so is great
Get 2 birds stoned at same time 😂 i caught that trailer park boys quote lol
Pete, your videos are super informative and I could listen to your riffs all day. 🤘🏼🤘🏼 Keep killing it man!!
Pete you rock brother. I came to the states a while ago and had the privilege to help build some off shore speed boats n nostalgia top fuel stuff. Was amazing. My heart broke when I had to leave. I now live vicariously thru you! Lol.
Will make it back one day if it's the last thing I do!!
Get 2 birds stoned😂😂😂😂😂
TPB reference
Pete your music has a kind of a warrior soul (early 90s metal band) vibe. Always cool.
Ahh porting, I just love filling my beard full of aluminum dust!
I rather my beard than my nostrils and sinuses 😊
@@gullreefclub 🤣🤣 I saw pete has the full face, I need to get one

this channel takes me right back haha thanks
i hear on just cleaning up ports and blending and match porting intakes and even exhaust can make a huge change
Thanks Pete for putting real meaningful content out I’m always learning on your channel.
I have to say my hat's off to you with your no nonsense to the point approach explaining what your doing and why , thanks for sharing your knowledge with the guys on CZcams to help someone who doesn't maybe understand improving performance, great job 👍
Best theme song on the CZcamss... TURN IT UP!
Some people have more time than money. That is when this stuff is so great to know. Great series.
Man that Pete-shaped guy in the corner is really good at Guitar😂
I really dug the synth music you did while you were porting!
Awesome series!!! Keep Grinding!!!
All that hand grinding is definitely some love and dedication, been there done that (not to that extent though), nice job man
Best intro song ever
That end mill did a mighty fine job on that chinesesium!
I was so happy to see you tear out those knife edges on the leading edges of the runners in the plenum.
Not only Pete knows his shyt on engines but also shreds on the guitar. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Could watch this all day! The synth put me in a trance haha
That was Real Good.
Thanks.
Love it Pete...
Keep on exposing how much butchery is really out there...
It takes Benjamin's to go fast ..
You rock on all facets..
Hell yeah brother!!!
I love watching you make magic with a flex shaft . I used one of these for several years doing jewelry . I can't imagine moving the amount of material as you do. Looks great ,very impressive.
Thanks Pete I never get sick of learning these details from you.
He just saving the world with the EGR/reversion on that intake
Pete! You real good at doin stuff with that N555 too? A video of your reloading process would be sick!
I would be all in for that video too! Using N555 for my 6.5creed
One of those things not a lot of people want to do but is one of the most critical to the project.
Between watching you massage the intake and playing the guitar, it kicked off some carpal tunnel sympathy pains.
I spent a lot of time over the years with Dumore grinders repairing/polishing plastic injection molds for work and doing some occasional port matching for my need for speed. I can't really say i miss it, LOL!
I particularly enjoy the music during your videos. An I guess gaining knowledge of the engines is cool to lol
Let's go Pete Harrell in the house
When I ported a chinese manifold I hit some large fissures in the casting and they outgassed when we breached them with the die grinder. One smelled like soy sauce, one smelled like burnt skin, one smelled unique.....
"Two birds stoned at the same time".....Lol!!!

Best quality builds anywhere. That port matching and plenum work is a rarity now days.
I love this whole channel. Content is wonderful. I like the tape graphics. Music is great.. he torques the head down...80 ft lbs.... genius
Another great episode!

11:40 "Pretty good, at doing stuff!"😃 That's, me! May never be, "real good at doing stuff!"
Real engine building for sure !
When you grabbed that endmill i cringed.... Then you said it was dull as a garden hose. lol I believe you!
Very IMPRESSED. More impressed with the music because I cant carry a tune in a 55 gallon drum. LOL.. Well done brother, WELL DONE! I port and like you said, in my early years. Mine gets the job done and I can live with that. MOTO,, If you want improvement porting, Become a MOLICULE of air. Make that path easier and you will go places.

Thanks for sharing. 👍
I need to blast this song whenever I'm driving around in my Geo Metro. :D
Once again , great usable information. Thanks for sharing , much appreciated.
Love the music. You should make time lapse videos for other youtubers
. lol. I like your approach to engine building, you make a lot of sense..
Bro as far as cars go I know they run on gas, but the intro song is ridiculously good!
Thanks for the video and information Pete!
Great content. I have thought about doing some more port work to my Sullivan intake on my 4.6 mod motor. I did the gasket matching but feel like after watching the video I need to do more on my plenum volume. Love the channel Pete keep on killing it my friend 💪
Good info. I always use a little wd40 to keep the aluminum from sticking to the end mill, and atf for my carbide burrs.
I always like seeing your new videos I always learn some thing while watching them

Pete you are the best! I'm a N.C boy, first saw you on Cleeter's channel.
Pete,you rock! Love everything about your channel. Peace
I'm just here for the intro music...
The worst part of porting anything is that first cut. You know from there it is hours and hours before you've completed the job.
Come for the knowledge....stay for the tunes
Always fire. The porting tune was a serious groove!
Thanks for keeping it real !

Old skool is the Rule.
You can’t Run hard if you Skip that Lesson.
Love the song, and the content!
Man I haven’t done any port work in years. Now I want too again
This would have been a awesome one to do before and after on the dyno.
Awesome video !!!

your right nobody doe's port matching bolt it on. I like old school doing stuff to make horsepower or finding H/P
I can relate to “pretty good at doin stuff”
