Port Modifications

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

Here's a good article on port modifications of a 4 valve production head giving insight into a lot of questions that have been posed on the Forum. Includes CFD anaylsis and revealing pictures. Enjoy.

Dave ... I think our shared interests go back a few years. Here is what first inspired my curiousity about modifications and engine design. My first motorcycle, a 250cc Ducati Mach1 and Gordon Jennings; the Technical Editor of Cycle World.

I really loved that bike ... a colourful "Sprite" :wink:

EDIT - I should say I only rode on the street. My brother was the racer. To stay on topic ... these links highlight head modifications for the Ducati 250.

Keith raced a highly modified 250cc YamahaTD1A. A very talented engineer and rider. Quite proud of him. :D
