Did you even read the question? Because the answer you gave me doesn't
make much sense. I made no mention of a pin and I didn't ask about the
engines performance. What I want to know is, do I have to leave the valve
in the port and if so why????????? it seems to me the valve is restricing
the diameter of the port so why leave it in? Is the port to big without
the valve in it ?????

"someone said to leave it in, >>>>so I did<<<<<."

You said you left it in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chronologically that was the last thing you said
so I took you at your word.

Therefore I said you would be disappointed in the power.
Street porting is totally out of the question with the rotary
intake valve in.

The rotary valve has a pin in the end and that is how it is
twisted. The pin can work loose and can be ingested into the
engine.

I would take the rotary intake valve out. Then you won't have
to worry about the pin. That will make it better
but you will still be disappointed with the power IMHO unless
you extensively street port it.

Your Right Sorry I should've been a little more clear. operating on
about 3hrs of sleep a night right now bare with me.
First the engine is street ported, and I took the rotary valve out
last night. I had left it in the first time I put the motor together
and I did the build up inside of it with the epoxy putty well when
I took the motor apart to have it powder coated it baked the epoxy
in the valve and shrank a bit (the epoxy that is) so as I was cleany
up the build up to put new epoxy in the valve, I watched Bruce's
video again and when he did his build up in the video it makes no
mention of leaving that valve in. Bruce just does the epoxy build
up inside the port, so I took it out all together. But what I'm
trying to figure out is why did I leave it in, in the first place?
was there something going around that said to leave it in the port?

Tony

Not that I know of. This is probably a good thing to
do to a six port for aircraft use.
