I tried and used this calculator with good success, but it's a little tricky to understand.

First here is the calculator:

There is a decent explanation on the bottom, but you still have to add up some numbers on the side.

Here is a visual guide I made up to help understand how you figure it out.

Stroke is most easily figured out using the specifications in a service manual, the rest can be easily measured with some calipers. It's probably easier to just measure everything in metric millimeters, down to at least .1mm.

Here are the port maps I made for my old stock 066 and BB 066:

And this was my input and output from the calculator:

Have questions about what's good or bad on port timing? Ask one of the many experts here in the forum, I am clueless and trying to understand that myself.

Anyhow, thought this might be helpful so I spent a few minutes working up the visual guide.

Update: Fixed the missing stroke/2 length...

Interesting that the port timing is early identical on the two cylinders. I'm surprised to see the exhaust that high, especially on the BB kit. I wouldn't expect very high compression but good RPMs.
