    valve adjustment problem help!

    I am noticing that the pushrod is proper length on the #1 cylinder at TDC so I lenght should be right.

    Port match

    Hello all. What do you think a port match is worth in HP. (340, Aluminum heads, M1 intake) I am thinking of port matching my intake to heads, and my heads to exhaust.
