Don't worry, I've already got a back up plan. I'm going to get Mick to post it, if necessary.

There's always butter, flour, and heat...

Well... baguettes are always better when they are crispy on the outside...

I've been missing all the fun, same old arguments though.....the saws are noisy......sort of but I try to compromise noise with performance, it didn't take me long to work out big outlets in front of an un-baffled exhaust port weren't too clever! I have just done a MS660 for a guy in Ireland, deafened by anothers home made dual outlet muffler cover....now binned and replaced by my more mellow bark which will work for him. It is just engineering and design.

Some get the porting thing, some don't.....not a problem, in my day, some slapped Allspeeds or Microns on their RD350YPVSs and some didn't....some want to always get that bit better out of their tools and some are happy with how it comes out of the factory. I don't force people to go with a ported option.....actually there was this guy with a 346 and I did it by mistake.....he said it was the best mistake ever made but that's another story. Guys ask me to port their kit, I have a chat and if it is for their own use and not to be handed to paid employees then we come to a conclusion - there is no coercion, I just offer a different take on what others offer and the option is either wanted by my customers or not. I do work for contractors, arb firms and one man shows etc. Many just want quality repair work, others want porting and service....no issue one way or another.

My porting - I always try to give the customer an obvious gain for a decent price. I look at achieving circa 75% of the available gains for an acceptable cost. If you want to know what those current costs are then just PM me....not too difficult!
