Help Wanted: Porting Apprentice

**v8klla** · 03-03-2010

We're currently looking for someone to help with the enormous volume of manifold portwork coming out of our facility. Previous porting experience is preferred, but by no means a requirement. We are looking for someone that is hard working and has a passion for the industry. Please keep in mind that this work is repetitive and tedious, however, job security will never be an issue and you will be privy to the benefits of working for one of the fastest growing performance shops in the country! Please direct resumes and/or questions to chris@maperformance.com, we look forward to hearing from you!

I've been kinda looking to do something like this, but have zero porting experience, just know how to turn wrenches...hmm

Sent you an email, never know unless I try!! Haha.

<--- zero porting experience but I do have experience on the lathe! I used to work at Permac Industries in Burnsville and Anderson & Dahlen in Ramsey. I also have my own set of micrometers, feeler gauges, few bore gauges, etc.

What type of porting are you mainly doing? Fully port everything or just a port match for the gaskets?

**Kracka** · 03-03-2010

They do full port-work on anything you can think off. Bob does amazing work so he is probably one of the best to learn from.

Matt D. · 03-03-2010

What kind of hours? Is this a part time gig or you looking for someone full time?

**v8klla** · 03-04-2010

Full time, sorry should have mentioned that!

I should apply for this, I dont have to much porting experience but I worked at a cnc machine shop where repetative work was all I did

turboimports · 03-05-2010

I did do a year worth of repetative oil changes way back. haha.

Andrew7dg · 03-05-2010

I have ported some of my own stuff and I believe on doing excellent work.

Would you mind nights and weekends?

Want some photos?

I have a landscape biz to run during the day

**v8klla** · 03-05-2010

We need 45+ hours per week...

Constant_Project21 · 03-05-2010

Was nice meeting both you and Bob yesterday, and I'm looking forward to hearing back from you guys! Thanks again for the time

s1ngletracker · 03-05-2010

Is this still available?

Constant_Project21 · 03-05-2010

Seeing as he posted it 2 days ago, I'd like to think they haven't made a decision yet haha.

4g63tcrazy · 03-05-2010

Depending on pay that would be a nice change from working overnights towing.. So who go the job?

**v8klla** · 03-16-2010

The position was filled by an acquaintance of Bob's that had previous porting experience, thanks to all of those that applied we appreciate your interest!
