I started porting my 6 port na motor and am a bit puzzled what to do with the 5th and 6th ports. I have the pineapple sleaves in, but started porting before they came in. I found that I can't really go up much because then the top of the sleave shows and leaves a flat spot, instead of a smooth curve. I am thinking of grinding the sleave a bit to smooth the transition to where my port closes. I can post pics tomorrow.

I wanted to bridge it, but the car is going to be a daily driver and I don't want to spend the money on engine management.
