You can maybe open them up only a 1/2 mm. If your valves were slightly larger then you can open them a full 1mm.
The stock intake valve seat has about a 22.5mm I.D.
The stock valve head is 25mm.
Porting: When looking at the "D" shape. The loop at the top, and the flat straight edge at the bottom. You will want to raise the loop of the D-port, and leave the bottom straight edge alone. Further into the port you will want to lower the port next to the valve head (short turn radius)
All this is to make the port as straight and unrestricted as possible.
With stock valves don't enlarge the ports at all, just alter them. Polish the combustion chamber and exhaust port fully. Leave the intake port with the regular carbide rough finish.

ARC, and there still expensive.
I was hoping they would lower the price like the Animal. They claim because there is more demand of the Animal rod. That's why it's cheaper.
ut:
That's a bunch of :censure:.
When your dealing with CNC machines it all gets setup and done over and over. No matter what rod is being done.
They act like when you order a billet rod they make it right on the spot.:001_rolleyes:
They are made in sets, and just sit on the shelf like any other.

well, if you notice, the Yamaha yf200 rods are almost half the price of gx rods. IMO the fact people buy them for "clones" is part of it dont you think? Just another way to Hold the little guy down!! hahah I think they would sell 3x more if they marked them at 49 bucks instead of 89 bucks. Its a huge market!!! Hell, you could sell them to rental equipment stores as a insurance for the motors longevity!!!!
They could, but it's always a lot of BS involved.
I always tell guys about the billet rod ARC makes. But when I tel them the price, they think I'm trying to get extra money on top. So I now give them there number directly and they can order them themselves. But they still don't.
I tell them to check Ebay all you want, you still won't find a used Honda billet rod.
