This is the site that got me interested in porting my own head. I bought the video and the tools from them. It was a good investment

tbh i'd say dont do anything apart from taking it apart, take it to a machine shop to have them check it for cracks,warpage and vavle guide wear.. if it gets the ok then feel free to tidy up the ports with emery cloth (amateurs+die grinders=hole in water jacket!), lap in the valves and put it back on

i took a few head porting classes last year, and i am a machinist student. I got about 10 hp out of my d16a6 by porting it. gaining flow from the single cam is really easy. i have some really nice valve job equiptment too if anyone is interested i can make a deal with ya.
