looking for a flathead shop in west central illinois, or east central iowa that does sonic testing, my local shop doesn't do it.

You can get a gauge and do it yourself if so inclined.

Thanks for posting that Pete. I had no idea such a thing existed.

You can get different size and configuration heads also so you can get in small ports for porting. You will almost never go through a port wall when using one of these.

Pete is correct . . . having the small probes that fit into the ports (while hogging them out) makes one a lot less stressed out! I've used them extensively for bores and for port work. I can sleep better at night as a result . . .

Make sure you always calibrate the unit on the block you're working with as a starting point. Also, they are not dead-nuts accurate . . . but close.
