Doesn't this method affect bearing clearance?

No man

How's the progress on this build going?

Finally got my block on Friday, waiting on gaskets and bearings but I decided to pull the trigger on getting my head ported.

Looks awesome! I see the channels milled into the top of the sleeves, did you say what type of head gasket you're going to run? Also, I can't remember, did you have that block re-sleaved as well or just closed deck?

Very nice!

Hi. I didn't do a re-sleeve. I did the closed deck with "O" ring groove for coper wire, for the head gaskiet I think I'll go OEM with the Custom Age 625+m studs.

I'm going to be sending the head off to VAC soon, but I don't know anything about their

"VAC Motorsports Combustion Chamber Modification Service, BMW S55"​

Anyone have any experience with this? Is there a notable performance increase?​
