Standard port holes are 1-3/8" from memory.
Those of us bith bigger intake runners use a `big port' gasket. Available from Karcraft and most Mini joints.

| Post subject: | Ported inlets/gasket size |
I'm been perving at a few peoples handy work and I have a question on gaskets. What size should the inlet cut out on a standard 1275 gasket be? The gasket I have hear has cut outs the same size as the ports on a stock standard 940 head, yet most pics I've seen show people enlarging the ports....so what do they do for a gasket...cut it? I am not making mine particularly bigger....just smoothing the way, but I'm curious. |

Well there you go then! Any idea how much bigger? Yes the stock head and gasket are 1 3/8. I haven't got it here but I think my inlet manifold is a bit bigger, so until now I would have had a nice step. I have no desire to open up the ports all the way through but a bigger gasket would a least allow me to blend it so there's no step on the way in. |

Inlets on big port gasket are 1-9/16" (39.6mm for the Imperially challenged).

hi, i find the std inlet gasket holes big enough at 35mm, but the exhausts are always too small & gasket needs to be opened up on a modified head. |

Huh....lining up the gasket on the head I was thinking the opposite...the exhaust cutouts looked huge (compared to the head). |

I had to enlarge all the exhaust holes a little yesterday on a BIG port gasket... 
The ones they sell now have slightly smaller exhausts than the old red asbestos ones did. |

Geez....that's a WHOLE lotta metal coming out of those ports
The standard port has something like 5mm clearance around it compared to the standard gasket..... |

If you need to mod the gasket it's probably too big!!!

Exhaust ports in mine are Vizard standard...
If I didn't trim the gasket it would stick into the ports creating a restriction. Then I mightn't get enough power out of the 1412 to beat yours....
<edit> at GR's today I saw another of these later bigport gaskets with the exhaust holes seriously opened out, so it's a common mod... |

hi, i think they need to be opened up 2-3mm depending on the manifold & expected power, this is only on some of the port not allover. Std ports are only 25mm sq approx. Check your exh manifold it will be bigger than the std exh ports |
