Xinger
550xp
Hi all, after doing a ton of reading from all the great post on here I finally decided to try a port job on a 55 rancher that's been sitting around for a while.
I somehow managed to go high on the intake side, even though my plan was to only widen it. I realized the potential dangers of having an exposed ring in the intake but that's where I am sitting right now and have a few questions.
I have a squish of .04 with the gasket removed so I could get the base machined down to .02 give or take but even at that the ring will still be about half way exposed at BDC.
Has anyone ran a saw like this?
How much does this effect timing?
Any way to fill some of the wall back?
What is the biggest concern? Catching a ring? Or timing?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
