what is 7 port and 5 port any advice and pic !!!!


7 port cylinders are the older original design, what used to be a cast lamey. This cylinder is no longer cast but made of billet. Bore sizes are around 84-85 MM I think. Stroke from stock on up to 12MM stroker.

5 port cylinders are the newer design, made of billet also. Bore sizes are from 89-91MM. This cylinder can only be used with a 6MM(or bigger) stroker crank.

Any other questions?

Yes, why less ports with a bigger bore?

To answer your question...
Cylinder configurations are referred as 5 port cylinder and 7 port cylinders.
The 5 port cylinder means it has 5 intake transfer ports feeding the intake charge into the top of cylinder from the lower crankcase.
A 7 port cylinder means it has 7 transfer ports feeding the intake charge into the top of cylinder from the lower crankcase.
The exhaust port is not counted as all cylinders have 1 exhaust port, and they can be referenced as unbridged or bridged port.
A stock Superjet/Waveblaster/Raider engine is a 5 port, while a GP800/GP1200R use a 7 port design and are a better modern configuration designed to make more power per cc.

X-METAL WORKS cylinders are freestyle bred and all use 7 port design in our engine sizes from as small as 735cc all the way up to 1040cc in a twin cylinder 62T/64X case based engine.

Both designs have worked for both, it's all in the engine builders setup.
IMO, the 7 port is better all around modern technology for making more horsepower per cc.
