That is the single reason why I use the turbo II rotor housings in the
engines I build. They do not have the (exhaust divider) as I call it. It's a
clean port. You will need to plug the water outlets that are drilled above
the exhaust port, but this is simple. Plug them with a 1/2 aluminum pipe plug
or epoxy. Warning: If you use steel plugs, they will probably leak because of
the differences in the thermal expansion rates of the aluminum and steel.
