Guys,
I'm going to work on rebuilding an 88 13B 6 port between Christmas and New
Years. I'm thinking about porting it. Do you recommend buying/using the Racing
Beat porting templates? It's for use in a car--at least until I get an
airframe.
If I decided to get more ambitious in my porting, what are the lowest idle
speeds one can get with a semi-or full bridgeport? Or am I really best off
sticking with what Racing Beat calls the "streetable" port job?

If you are considering any porting work, then now is the time.

I soon will be ordering new housings for my '88 13B and then intend to
begin the rebuild. In the mean time are there any places on the
inner or outer housings that I should consider drilling and tapping
etc. (while it is still apart), for oil or water (inlet/outlet) or probe
connection points?
Hi
Doug,
I would
certainly consider drilling and tapping a fitting on the foot section of the
#2 rotor housing, for an oil return from the redrive. I understand
this is what Bruce does now. I never quite understood where
everyone was saying to drill, until I recently took the junk engine
apart. Now, I know, and can post a picture later if you
want.
Cheers,
Rusty (must
decide on the radiator and EWP's today)
