Armed with only a piece of paper, a pencil and a piece of tape I'll reveal this engines ports in a matter of minutes. | |

Take it out and lay it flat. |

There is your basic port map. Even the most advanced porting software needs information like this to make accurate predictions. The next thing to do is to measure the area of the ports. When measuring the ports keep in mind the width of any bevel which might be on the port. Many times a transfer port bevel is .5 mm wide - that's .5 mm all the way around the port, so it is a good idea to subtract this from the measurement before you write it down - or whatever the actual bevel width is. This would be easier if the ports were flat, but they're not so we have to do it the hard way - transfer the real dimensions to graph paper.
