Those pictures reminded me, you have to keep the rotors separate on a 12A (they are different). I had forgotten that.

Let me put the porting to you this way, you can always take more out later. You can't easily add it back. Small porting is your friend.

Intake port cross section should not exceed cross section of intake runner feeding it.

Later close is only better if it greatly improves flow, don't dig a corner upwards just to match the majority of porting templates on the market today. I prefer the port to follow the shape of the rotor (quicker close = optimum dynamic charging, maximum port area without expense of compression displacement).

Exhaust port should increase in cross-sectional area.
