How to tell If the Rx7 is ported?
As the title states, what are some ways of telling? I just bought the car (non running) and plan on rebuilding the motor myself.

welcome to the board.
pulling the engine apart is the BEST way to see what you have. there are other ways to get information in engines that remain assembled, but depending on who did the work, it may or may not be conclusive. depending on what car/engine you have, there are photos of stock and modified ports in the sticky'd porting thread. it's a quick and decently comprehensive reference to use after disassembly.

I was also wondering the same thing. Would a compression test indicate any porting that was done? Maybe a small increase/decrease in CR? I was curious about mine as well because I was going to maybe swap it for 'newer' jdm engine but I might just rebuild if the port work was already done.....

So, what would some of the methods hinted at earlier that might let someone determine whether or not your engine might have been ported? I ask because my recently bought 12a FB is making me wonder if it has, for a couple of reasons.
