[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 171173, member: 1650"] I guess I am a little bit impressed with you guys as a group. No one said anything really stupid. That in itself is unusual on a board when the subject of porting comes up. My long time observance of people with flow benches is that there are more who have them than those who know how to use them. A vacuum gauge, and a big shop vac are a decent start to building your own. To me they are no more important to have than a file. (They won't tell you what to take off etc) It's about 9th on my list of needs. If you consider porting a two stroke and are not familiar with the names Gordon Jennings, Irv Kanemoto, or Tom Turner, I don't think you should buy a tool until you have their writings. If I was going to have someone port a cr500 cylinder for mid to high end, Gary Jones will be number one on the list. [/QUOTE]
