The end result of running a ported head with stock steel guides cut down on a turbo car. This is the #1 reason why Headgames Motorworks installs bronze valve guides with their intended full length in every ported head we do.

Pocket Port/Pocket Port “R”

The HeadGames pocket port is a great budget friendly addition to any head, why do you ask?  A pocket port modifies the most important area of any cylinder head!

In order to pocket port the head we must remove the steel valve guides, we reshape and resize the area under the valve seat and short side radius, we open this to a certain percentage of the outer diameter of the valve.

After the port work we install bronze valve guides, we do this because they have a natural lubricity and take heat away from the valve (rumor has it that bronze valve guides wear quickly, however they will easily last for years in a normal street car setting and even a race car).  We hone the valve guides, our trick valve job, lash to your camshafts (if necessary), mill and assemble with new valve seals!

The Pocket Port “R” service combines the great advantages of the pocket port, but adds the combustion chamber reshaping of the full port to the mix.  This combination creates area under the curve.  The combustion chamber reshaping makes it so you can add timing or boost and the engine won’t be so sensitive to detonation.
