porting/polishing intake/exhause

[Art'74]

Would appreciate input on what items to buy to port/polish the intake and exhaust on my engine.

I'm talking about the items to use on a die grinder for shaving the metal and then polishing the rough "shaved" areas. This almost sounds dirty.

Who's stuff would you suggest I guess is my question and where to get it.

If this is your first try I'd go light and just do a pocket port. That usually provides the most bang for the $ and reduces the chance that you'll crack a head.

Thanks for the input. I have read the articles and looked at the tooling.

Of the "bits" that are shown, which do you suggest buying to do porting. I want to be sure and have what I need when I get started.

Thanks again!

I would go with the SC and the SF, the rounded edges are a little more forgiving when you get into the radius areas in the ports. Like was said earlier, don't get too crazy, just a pocket port and gasket match will give you good results.
