    Default 45 ci omc boost port question

    The sleeve opening for the boost port is lower than the openings for the transfers. Is ther a reason for this? Can it be machined to match the height of the transfers which will make it match the block also. Thx. Jeff

    how do the ports in the piston line up?
    There is a simple mod and thats to make a late 45 piston cut look like the old 60hp one

    Yes. I would recommend raising the boost port so it opens at the same time as the transfers or even a little sooner. Years ago one of the tricks to making a FA Konig go was to raise the boost port about .060" higher than the transfers. With the sleeves out, this is a real easy fix with a rotary file or even a regular hand file.

    good question, thats very important.
    lots of dyno time and egt monitoring required there
    typically you lower the angle to shift the powerband up

    I totally misunderstood the question. I would defiantly cut the sleeve back so all three of the transfer ducts are the same length. There is a design flaw in the 45 motors.
    Look through the 4 main transfer ducts. one is about 1/2 the size of the other 3. If the motor does not have to go through a tech inspection, that is where I would be working. You need a set of 6" long rotary files. You have to start with a 1/4" ball, then 5/16', then 3/8". Panful to do but well worth the results.

    Leave the angle of the boost port alone, just raise it .060" higher than the main transfers.

    are you taking of ports above the piston or below?
