Ron Bells in Mandurah, I think prices for a basic port/polish were $200-300 last time I checked?

I'll be down there before the end of the month with my spare head finally.

Wouldnt bother doing it on a type-R motor, depending on year they are either hand or CNC ported from the factory

+1, goes for most modern 16v twincams imo

get titanium valves instead ;)

whilst most modern castings and heads are pretty good, there is room for improvement with most.
The B18CR is a very different animal though, only worth porting further if doing serious modifications.
