I say square the port off more at the top and work the bevel edges to flow characteristics and seal life. The scribe looked like a good port shape. Should be a nice exhaust port.



That port has allot of overlap you might want to not take allot out of the intake ports with this one.

Over lap is not a concern for me, since the motor is bridge port.

My bevel is not good? WHy square off the port?
