Hi... I'm oldeskewltoy - aka Dan, professional cylinder head porter.



I've been working on automobiles for the better part of 4 decades. Below is a mostly complete list of the cars I, or my wife has owned... this list is about 2 years old now.....




For the past 20 years I've been dabbling in the rwd Toyota arena having owned a few AE86s, and currently owning "Surreptitious", my 2200#, 170hp, 32 MPG, 6 speed equipped... AE71.




As to my professional experience porting cylinder heads - Here is a Google search showing OST port work threads

Pictures are always good... so here are a few......

Ford Mazda 2.2 head (Probe and MX6) before and after on the exhaust ports...



Toyota 4AGE intake ports/bowls - left side work mostly complete



I've also been "digging" into a high port SR20 head as well.....




So... why am I "new" here....


I have a client from Europe who is asking me to port a CA18DE 4 port head. So... I've joined to see if I can acquire said head... and as a "bonus", I will show my procedures for porting it, and I'll show the results...

I imagine there is a decent mount of work here for ported CA heads. Might be worth sticking around. May get a few more jobs.

[oldeskewltoy]

thanks for the welcome.... my first post was in the engines/drivetrtain for sale section.

Thought I should say "Hi" too... try not to be rude on my first day

See you are in Portland... for the time being, I too am a Portlandian....

[OriginalWheelman]

I got ' Intel'd ' here. My wife is an engineer. We're here forever now lol. I love it, but I don't live in the city.

I definately need to get a look at that Toyota while you're here. Have I mentioned I'm a photographer? (Do I need to in Portland? lol)

[oldeskewltoy]

ever go to the red door meet? Its been a year or so since I was last there....

[OriginalWheelman]

Never been. Just moved here. Where and when? Last one I went to here was kids in beamers with neon lights and loud mufflers. Meh.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

What's the significance of the red door?

Welcome aboard! Looks like you've got some hours into that metal!

[oldeskewltoy]

The Red Door meet is a Sunday evening meet in downtown Portland - 111 SE Belmont Ave - VERY close to the exit from I5 to I84.
