Just thought this may interest some of you at the bottom are flow figures of Sabre Heads head work compared to standard on the F7P/R engines.

possibly some of the most user unfriendly data to read, whats wrong with a graph! lol.

Not a fan of a few things and I could nit pick for ages at some of the stuff on that site, but it would be cuntish to do so, were all trying to make a living.

Dont worry, i'm just waiting for some spare time.

Also been working on a CNC valve job that will give great gains with very little work, infact i dont touch the port at all bar the valve job, meaning uber cheap and uber good.

Heres a short clip of the machining process, nothing really happens until 1:30, and even then its not exciting to those who arent interested in seats lol.

Interesting vid for someone who ordinarily wouldn't have a clue (me) about these types of thing. Cheers :)

Well other people wouldnt cut seats in that way because they wouldnt be able to.

Traditional manually fed form tool cutting is what 99.9% of others use, like in that sabre website.

Guessed so. Impressive tool!

1. Wow, that thing must cost a lot.
2. Wow, that thing must need to be pretty precise.
3. Wow, that attachment/head must be rather hard wearing.

:lol:

lol, its my pride and joy.

1.Yes.
2. 3 microns accuracy repeatable.
4. CBN (cubic boron nitride), cermet, coated ceramic, PDC diamond etc etc. But with such a small cutting tip and an eye on quality i tend to change cutter fairly often.
