so in assembling BMF intakes where I bolt up the machined flanges to the head, I always notice that the amount of head port material that intrudes into the airway varies from port to port
so just to confirm its the head and not the machined flanges, I swapped the flanges from port to port and the intrusion remains the same...
things that make you go hmmm
Wow, goes to show, check everything.

"The sole condition which is required in order to succeed in centralizing the supreme power in a democratic community, is to love equality, or to get men to believe you love it. Thus the science of despotism, which was once so complex is simplified, and reduced . . . . to a single principle."
-- Alexis de Tocqueville
"One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."
--Ayn Rand
"To evolve, you don't need a Constitution. All you need is a legislature and a ballot box . . . . things will evolve as much as you want. All of these changes can come about democratically; you don't need a Constitution to do that and it's not the function of a Constitution to do that."
-- Justice Antonin Scalia
When I'm porting a 'motor' I make templates(from old plastic X-ray film sheets) including bolt holes for intake manifold, Head, exhaust manifold, turbo and swingvalve. IMO it is important to make sure that each 'downstream' component (as it relates to airflow) is slightly larger than the terminus of the upstream part. I don't know if it makes much difference but ensuring that there are no steps in the pathway makes me feel better
