Jerry, have you looked into getting your P-port insert rapid cast? If I remember correctly it has a complex internal geometry.

PS While you are at it how about some AL side housings  ;)

Paul, all the companies you list sell housings with BIG p - ports and massive overlap. They are designed to develop tremendous hp at high rpm for racing. Of course they don't idle smoothly. These engines have nothing to do with the smaller, conservatively timed p ports that we wish to use as aircraft engines. Jerry

Jerry,

what are you calling consevatively timed p-ports?
Just want to see were I stand with mine.

Richard here is the timing on my p port. I.O.= 78º BTDC I.C.= 75º ABDC

In the attached drawing the opening and closing events are measured from the housing center line. My p port is on the left. The Leman p port is on the right. Jerry
