Port questions
 
From all the threads I have been reading about porting the Renesis its not worth it... Unless it is already out of the car. Well my engine is getting up there... 130000 miles and I am looking at going ahead and pulling the engine out an having it remanned before it goes completely... So I can schedule the time I don't have a car instead of it being decided for me.
I figure since the engine is going to be out already I would go ahead and get the engine ported... I am NOT technical at all :doh: so try to anwser with small words but what is the difference between 4,6 and bridge port on an engine and considering I just want a small street port where would I be able to take it around North Carolina to have a trustworthy shop do this for me; :sadwavey:and shoot me a roundabout on the price for the reman and port.

-Thanks!:icon_tup:

Edit P.S. A guy in one my my local car groups told me that when I get it remanned I should ahve 3mm seals put in since they are the weakest point in the engine... Is that right? :shocking:

SEARCH!!!!

Also, 3mm seals are not an option right now. Tell your friend this is not an RX-7...;)

You can get better apex seals through us...just search for Esmeril Racing. They will fit in the stock location with no machining.

Also...there are thousands of threads...about porting...about our apex seals etc...search function is your friend.


Best regards,

Christian
