Looks good! Staggering uppers... Interesting... I bet it’ll run good

Good eye Austin!

I think those are staggered... my eyes could be screwing with me again..

Thanks Dan!

Defiantly angled to different places. I can't tell without measuring or a wheel. Could only be a couple degrees and hard to tell by pics.

I wouldn’t call this artwork lol. Chinese “Wong way” aftermarket 359XP jug that I tried “porting” a couple tears back... wow it was ugly. I tried my best to get everything as uniform as possible without killing much velocity... I dont think that worked out too well.
Ive been reading on the intake thread that Randy posted up and I wanted to try and someone mentioned “If you don’t have the time better give it some area and if you don’t have the area give it some time.” I tried to follow that concept to an extent. The floor was already significantly lower than a stock 359 would be so I didn’t want to give her too much.
Those uppers were TINY compared to an OEM Mahle jug and they weren't even consistent! Their heights varied as well( and that was the “stock” set up too!) After I got my 2159 together I went ahead to do some “porting” to this cylinder (and I gotta tell ya it wasn’t pretty either). I tried my best to clean up the uppers but they still aren’t perfect, focused their aim more towards the intake (because they were aiming just about at the exhaust before.)
One thing I forgot to mention is my “OCD” kicked in while I was doing the intake and I went a touch too far while trying to square it and make it “symmetrical”. What I could do is grind the squared off part on the skirt. I don't know... thoughts anyone? Sorry for the long winded post lol

One weird thing I found out is that the single cut bits actually work better at lower RPMs IMIO(in my inexperienced opinion). Instead of pushing hard I pretty much just let er eat

 

[Nutball]

I'm a fan of only as much rpm as is needed. They give you a variable speed control on Dremels and Foredom tools for a reason. I even do it with hand drills. Also, from the start my straight (H44?) tool never seemed to hold bits straight consistently, so ultra low rpm was best to avoid a hammering effect, so I could get a nice finish. I also tend to prefer the "fast spiral" over an alumi hog.

Single cut has more teeth and/or less bite, so low rpm will help them bite more.

I dunk em in erl and hold it wide open. Some bits clog quick, some not

 

[Nutball]

I have the least clogging issues dry, but then I tend to run slower. Still, I rarely have clogging issues even at high rpm running dry, and the dry shavings stay out of the way instead of immediately clinging to the cylinder wall blocking my view. Different strokes.

I will say, wide open is about the only way to run a hog in a 90deg tool.

I noticed that also. Looks like four or so degrees.
