head port and flow test question
« on: May 11, 2024, 12:30:46 PM »
When checking flow in ports does anyone simulate overlap just curious if it's even possible and would it even be possible or matter. Thanks in advance Mark.

A flow bench does all of it's work on the chamber side.  When flowing exhaust you reverse the flow and open the exhaust valve, so there would be no way to have it push on the exhaust and suck on the intake at the same time

However, if you did want to optimize, you could chase low lift flow on the intake side, I am no porter, but that doesn't always help higher lift.  Best is to have a port that is clean and not too much volume
