I can't really understand what you're asking... are you talking about porting the head or the header?

If it's the header, it should line up perfectly with the head ports for best flow.

porting the head

Not really any point until you do camshafts, the head ports aren't the link in the engine running out of puff first.

If you had RBC + Cams + higher redline then porting the head would be worth it

The ports on the K24a3 are the same size as the K20A so they're fine until you start doing proper work that requires the head to breathe better.

I don't think there'd be any difference at all if you ported and polished the stock head with stock cams etc. The only thing you'd lose would be money
