I;ve been diesecting a block to figer out how to add Liqud steel to the water jacket of the block. This is in the area of the top ad sids of the intake ports, with out affecting the water around the exhaust bowls. If any one would cast a new block it would be simple to eliminate the water jacket on the exhaust side of the intake port, I'll use the segments of the old block to test filling these areas. The reaso for this is to provide enough material to relocater the intake port as high as possable an allow the port to be widened dear the valve pocket. Using a flow program, you can see the affects a small change in a single part of the port can affect the complete port as the flow increases.
Will this work? I have no idea, but I can't think of anything else to do. Yet!.
