If you want to see a Timbo ported head my son just got his back from Timbo a couple of weeks ago. It's not on the motor yet. I'm in Torrance, just 30 minutes away.

Thats how it appears in given picture,,,, more lighting, would be helpful. Tom, this head has indeed been ported. I have compared it to 2 stock heads. It appears alot of the original shape was left in tact. It was not "gutted" or competely re-shaped. So, as we can now see, pictures are not always worth a 1,000 words.
When I chose who I chose to port these, I sent 2 heads up that were ported by other places to compare flow characteristics. He flowed all of them, and arrived at his own port work, which was to maximize the entire curve. I'm sure he ported all of them pretty close to the same. :confused:

I guess we should change the title of this thread to:
Does this look ported and polished by timbo?

And the answer to that even in dark with eyes closed and just using brail method is a resounding NO WAY!
But at least guy didnt hack it up like some others.

Yup but not everything.Tims port jobs are a charity case.In other words you or I would not be able to afford one if time and work were really counted by him.I told you guys the differences were huge.Believe me it not even close.Thats why I have always said flow on others is way different.So if anyone sells something at a loss yes censor it.

Also YOU could have saved lots of people trouble if you would have been forthcoming about your Decompression breaking on CWR cam I also would like to know what your cam lobes looked like at time decompression was replaced.Did you go back to stock?Thanks for being a team player

Haydug, I was indeed wrong to say the pictured head was not ported. I didnot intend to bad mouth other peoples work. Not having seen a photo of what work was performed in the combustion chamber, or the bowls, I should have said "not enought information (photo) provided, or said nothing at all.
