Hey. Im Daniel

I want to start doing machine work. I have a question about the thermactor hump and hole in a set of d5ae heads i have. I want to practice porting on these but what do i do about the extra hole in the exhaust port?

Yea iv looked through all of that several times. Maybe im missing something here but mine actually have the thermactor hole not just the hump. I havemt seen anything addressing what to do with the hole. It is probably because most people wouldnt consider them worth the time to port. But for me its between d5ae and d80e thats what i have and im not going to buy more right now. Thanks for the response any help is always appreciated.

Oh, welcome to FTE...our guru's are the best!
people dont think e7's are worth it either, cash flow, means a lot, take your time dont rush, people dont think the 5.8L truck intake is any good either, I do and I have hp #'s before and after, that says other wise
check this out for thermactor port
