Joe,
The only downside I’m aware of is
from the proximity to the red-hot exhaust manifold. Its better to have them on
the cold side of the engine. With that said, I used these ports for my primary
injectors. I’ll be installing a heat shield with a drain before first
flight.

Ah – I didn’t know. My engine
came from Atkins with them plugged.
Hmmmm – since I’ve taken so
much grief for only having 2 injectors in my setup – I wonder if I could
put a couple more injectors in those holes? What’s the downside of doing
that?

Joe, Those are injector ports for the primary injectors.

Also, there are two of what I guess are
EGR ports on the top side of the center housing. You’ve got tape over
them in the pictures. Those can be plugged too. I’ve got a couple of
aluminum slugs that fit down into them and then a plate on top using the bolt
holes right above those ports to hold the plate down tight on the plugs.

Thanks Joe and Buly, I figured that should be enough, but
thought it wise to check.

Same here, Bill. Intake manifold
gasket covers the upper ones and exhaust plate & gasket cover the bottom
ones.

Bill, I have blocked all of them. The intake ones were blocked by may
homemade gasket, and the exhaustones were blocked by the metal exhaust gaskets.

The attached three pictures have me pointing to some EGR
ports, and where they seem to connect to a point near the intake manifold. Do
these need to be blocked off other than that provided by the exhaust flange and
the intake flange having no opening in those locations? If so, what do people
use?
