george question about work you did for me

George , normaly if i have a situation like this i would not bring it on an
open forum , but ive listened over and over how you want to rid this news group
and shisters for taking peoples money ,
so i want to take this operunity to let everyone make there own judgemnts about
this situation.
Last yr i sent you my 951 motor to be gone threw to ready it for ss close
course racing .
I got the motor back and for unknown reasons could never find out why it had
water entering the motor , after tearing it down more times then i want to
count AND TO SAVE MY SANITY, i sold the boat and bought another 951 ,and
started fresh , i did take the cylinder off the old boat , in antiapation of
using it on the new boat , or selling outright , out of quriosity i sent the
cylinder to mel miller to inspect your work and to find out if there was
anymore usable hp to be had from the cylinder.
and to my total suprise i was told that the cylinder ,basiclly was just shined
up and that the ports where just cleaned up and not reallly ported at all?

Like i said in the beging of this post im not here to bash you , just wanted a
explination as to why the cylinder wasent ported ?
i think and alot of other people here feel very vunarable when it comes to
sending of our motors to be ported by someone , and find out that either it was
ported wrong or different then expected or not at all , i concidered you a
trusted freind and cant understand what happend .

Douglas. First of all if your cylinder combustion chamber was subjected to
water, your engine would not live 5 seconds at WOT. As I recall you did run
it very successfully more then once, your problem started when you install
after market tuned pipe. If water was found in the rave valve area it had
come from the exhaust system. I have seen water damaged engines due to
failure in clearing it from the system at the end of a day. I do it after
run and repeat it again after I get home.

As fare as porting is concerned there is more then one way to do this job.
In order to evaluate what was done to any cylinder
engine builder has to have original data of a stock port configuration. Port
timing of OEM units very from 197 to 200 degree duration. Average BMEP of
OEM cylinder is in the order of 125 psi at 6950 rpm. Your cylinder measured
close to 200 degree, that is why there was no need to move large amount of
material from port area. According to my records exhaust port area was
finished at 155 Bmep- psi which equals to estimated hp increase near
ponies. at 6950 rpm. As I said before, you received cylinder which was flow
benched with in 1% of accuracy. The efficiency of port work is not measured
by dimensions, it is done using a flow bench. Power band is largely depended
on transfers and bust port vertical angle of flow and horizontal angles of
ports. My approach to engine modification is based on best possible results
using OEM parts, at lowest cost. Unlike many tuners who discard OEM parts
for larger profits by replacing them with so call better after market parts
I do not fallow that rout. I believe that it is not necessary to replace say
a cylinder head until structural integrity of stock head is totally
exhausted by machining procedure. In my experience 950 stock head is more
then sufficient to take this engine to high degree of modification say up to
and over 165 BMEP and estimated 19 hp increase of power band, not to
mansion additional ponies extracted by installing quality tuned pipe, and
increased CR ratio. Douglas I think you got lost by listening to may tuners.
As I said you have top of the line engine work done for the best price
period. There is another engine which was done to exact specifications like
yours. It runs great, the only difference is it was set up by man with
experience and open mind to fallow suggestions and advice by this tuner. You

I smell crap which is spreading by ugly carpenters. Don't you think its bit
late to come up with crap like this after two years gone by? If this post
was not intended to slander this tuner you would talk to me in person like
you have done on many occasions.I know where this garbage is coming from.
