Default why do you lock threads?

i dont care if you try to prove me wrong, just dont lock the thread and give me the oppurtunity to respond. and if this is a discussion page, why do you keep locking up the thread disabling me from discussing it?

listen, someone posted a pic of his/her private head? but if bull-nosing a divider is the way to go, then why does jg knife edge their pro-series heads? they have flow benchs at their disposal, and they have computer aided design capabilities, so why do they use knife edgin if bull nosing works so great? keep in mind theyve built a b18c to well over 1000 hp. they sell crate engines that can with stand 300 shot w/ 35 lbs boost.

oh yeah, jg's driver joel mandl and his ride are doing pretty well this year, no? and how well has jojo callos and his jg edelbrock civic been doin?

so why dont you stop limiting my speech, stay up to date with your studying and manufacturers products, and debate this.

Your thread, and the threads you have participated in were locked because they turned into personal attacks and were no longer constructive. You came in and derailed several threads by trying to "school" the rest of us. When some of your views were refuted, you felt the need to attack various people personally. You seem to be an intelligent person, but you also seem to believe that all your views are infallible and that all others are wrong. If you wish to discuss a topic, drop the attitude and carry out the discussion with some civility. If you have a personal issue with someone, handle it outside of the forum via email, PM, etc.

JG may be doing their heads that way because they are putting so many CFM's thru their motors. The "divider" may be a limiting factor when you're talking 35psi.

If you're building a full race motor and you need to be able to flow that kinda air then by all means don't let the die grinder stop you. I didn't catch all of the first "discussion" but I got the jist from your first post.

I agree with 1stgen "I think he said it" that most hondas only need portmatching and not really an all out p&p.

When I had my motor out all I did was port match anyways.

Oh and I really wouldn't worry about a P&P on a street turbo motor.

Not every connecting place, more like any connecting place that has a beefy flange or is a cast piece. You still need enough material on your "expendable" piece to grind away the pieces forming a sharp block to air flow. What I mean by expendable is that you don't really want to grind on your head to port match to your header, every manifold and header can be different, so you should match up the pieces that are more likely to change to the ones that will not change. Of course, in a turbo system, every component can change, so have at it.

I prefer Locktite brand thread lock...Oh, that's not the topic here.

As for the porting comments, go look at the "theory" thread
