Should I Have The Head Done - 2003 accent?
I have a 2003 accent, and was thinking of having the head port an polished to gain a lil more power. My ? is if i do this wat affect will it have on my engine and will anything happen to the bottom end of my engine. Is it even worth doing?

If you get it professionally done you might get 5-7hp out of it alone, a bit more with I/H/E and a ported & polished IM. For the cost it's probably not worth it but there will be results so I guess "worth it" depends on how you like to spend money. It's certainly not the cheapest way to get 5 more horsepower.

I did, right before I built a turbo kit 7 years ago.
