D0VE-C and prior castings
Here are some pics of a 230 CFM D0VE exhaust port. Along with it are
some pics of a 238 CFM D0VE exhaust port using a larger 1.8" exhaust
valve.

This second group of pics is from a pair of castings that came pre ported from Dale
Askins. They did a quite respectable 180 CFM @ .800" when they arrived. After some
short turn shaping I managed about 200 @ .600" when I worked the short turn corners
as instructed elsewhere on the site (D0VE guide) I was flowing near 220 @ .800". Is this
second open passage port better? Most probably not. Was alot of extra work and now the
port is bigger and will offer lower velocity because of its size. I feel the 1.8" valve played
a large roll in the good final flow figures.
