So I have bought a complete gx160 head for my champion 6.5 clone (gx200 with shaft mounted rockers, switched so I could fit 1.2 ratio rockers and have higher compression) and am wondering if it will work with out porting or if not could some one explain what I have to do make this head work I have only a little idea of whats involved with porting. sorry if I don't respound fast but I work night security so i'm pretty much nocturnal and use the computer there.

Ok right over my head
So I'm staring at this head and I think I know what your talking about when you say the guide inside the ports, is it the bottom of the valve guide that hangs inside the port area, but I don't know what your talking about when you say the short side radius in the intake and exhaust. could you please clarify i've never ported anything before but I got a dremel and determination plus it's raining and snowing outside so im not riding until atleast spring so I need something to occupy my time. any way could you please help, thanks

Tempting especially milling the head, but I kinda want to do it myself, half of mini biking is the tinkering with the mechanics and learning. So I got to start somewhere. I found this site DIY - Basic Cylinder Head Porting -Standard Abrasives Motor Sports I know its not for single cylinder engines but the chevy ohv is the same thing. and the part 3 covering Short Side Radius and Bowl Work seems to be what your talking about, and I won't mess with the ports size or polishing the combustion chamber. thanks for the info you've been extremly helpful!
