Pete,
I understand what you mean now. Issues with the a large D port not sealing on raised intake block due to the lack of material would be the "lowered" section in the direction towards the deck surface. Never thought of it that way, but I guess you are right.
Regarding D shaped ports, do you guys do this on a mill or freehand? If freehand, any useful tips or tricks?
