Welcome

Whether you’re into racing motocross or recreational dirtbikes, for maximum performance, 2-Stroke Cylinder and 4-Stroke Head Porting from Rich’s Taylor'd Porting puts the “Power” in powersports.

2-Stroke Cylinder porting can improve the reliability and ride-ability of your machine as well as improve the power.

I have been around motocross since 4-strokes were popular the first time (1968). I started competing and riding on Hodaka dirt bikes in 1970. Wanting that competitive edge in racing fueled my hunger for increasing engine performance. I began seeking how to improve upon what I had and started experimenting with porting. Shortly after I became hooked on bikes, I also became an Automotive performance enthusiast. I attended Automotive Trade school to learn and apply performance enhancing theory into building high-performance engines.

I worked as a high-performance mechanic at Tuckers GM Performance center in Las Vegas for 24 years. All the while, I kept my hands on the grinder, working on bikes, watercraft and automotive cylinder heads.

I have been involved in just about every angle of high-performance there is. I am highly experienced in the dying art of carburetor tuning for small engines as well as automotive, single and multiple carbs both naturally aspirated and Super charged. My passion is for 2-Stroke engines and vintage motorcycles of all makes. I personally collect and restore Hodakas and haul them with a 500 horsepower small block, 1973 chevy truck.

Over the years, I have accumulated porting specs from all sorts of sources like factory racing directives, practical experience, and the one-on-one training by Harry Taylor, a renowned factory Hodaka technician and racer. You might say I'm a bit of a vintage freak and sympathetic to the needs of vintage bike owners like yourselves.

Rich’s Taylor'd Porting offers all-inclusive porting packages for all types of 2-stroke engines used in dirt bikes, ATVs, Snowmobiles, Watercraft and Shifter Karts. I do all the porting myself. I have worked with porting tools since the 1970s, porting countless cylinders and cases. All the 2-stroke porting work I perform is complete porting, not the fake fluffy junk that most "In and Out" Porting or big time "SoCal" hop up shops offer.

I have made my reputation on porting to the individual needs and specifications of my customers. I perform all the work myself, no illegal aliens, space aliens, or third world slave labor. It’s just Good'ol, middle-aged, American labor from one of the most experienced tuners in the business, whom still actually rides motocross, dirt bikes and ATV’s.

Power Band Choices: Note that changing port timing and shape in a 2-stroke is in effect like changing cam shaft timing events, intake manifold design, carburetion and the exhaust system in a 4 stroke all in one complex operation.
 
Porting a 4 stroke can enhance the combination of the existing modifications your engine already has, or the modifications you will be making.

So with that being understood, I can "taylor" your porting to suit your desired style, whether it be casual trail riding where you just want an increase in mid-range grunt or all out race where higher RPM power is desired or somewhere in-between.

Heli arc aluminum welding is also a service I offer for case repair or what ever. Call to discuss your needs.
