    Any local flow benches?

    Was wondering if anyone knew of any local engine shops with a flow bench.

    Not if you're using them to properly port heads.

    George if you knew me you would have already known that's the ONLY racing I do. Just incase you're wondering I'm going to get flow numbers @ .900" lift and put a cam in the engine to lift it .420" @ the valve. That's just how I roll.




    Thanks guys...I really didn't expect to hear about any in the area....good to know.

    It doesn't matter if you lift the valve off the seat a half of a foot, what matters is e.t. Got e.t.???

    I'm also pretty sure Mark at The Motorworks has one also... I'll see if I can confirm that through one of the crew, if they don't see the post.

    I also think Gregg Dahl at Gregg's Machine Service/GMS in Uniontown has one.

    I know Ken Frisco (sp) used to have one in his shop out near Greensburg as well. He's off of Rt 119 near Rizzo's restraunt. Its been years since I've spoken with him so I don't even know if he still has it or his shop anymore though. He's a regular at PRP though so someone here should be able to confirm if he is still out that way.
