I have read many threads all around the 4A-GE- engine and there are only a few people, spreading "good information" and you are definately one of them.
Thanks for sharing information and pictures about the head-work. I am doing it right now on my 16V bigport and I have some questions.
The most spreaded opinion in forums is, that the exhaust port is not optimal designed. The inner radius is to narrow or the turn is too sharp!?
Is there a benefit to widen up the sharp bend, to make it more smooth and widing up the port diameter in that area?
My feeling would say YES, because the pressure and velocity of the gases just leaving the cylinder, is hight?! So at the exhaust side BIGGER is BETTER?
(Different story at the intake-port, where you want to have velocity, achieving it by reducing the diameter...).
Do you have some advice here and maybe some numbers?
All this thoughts in respect to the these engine specs:
252 - 262 EX cams
8.5 - 9 mm lift
free-flow exhaust and custom header
Thanks for your reply!

I am not sure about the way to go...
At the moment, I would like to do the following:
I did cylinder head porting and combustion chamber deburring on my Bigport-head. Finally measured the chamber volume - all equal now.
I want to install some CatCams with IN 267° / OUT 262° or Poncams.
Full standalone ECU with Rev-Limit around 8.000-8.200 RPM, no turbo.
And here come my doubts:
I need new valves. I considered oversize valves, for example IN +1,5mm / Ex +2,0mm AND
I would love to have the Silvertop, or Blacktop ITB´s.
But with my Bigport-Head and bigger valves, I am not sure if the performance is even worse as with the standard valves, T-VIS and plenum...
I can´t image how the alterations may affect the mid-range performance...any suggestions for the way to go??
I guess the small-port head would be better?
Thank you in advance for your thoughts
Have a nice week.
