Can this be done with a Dremel rotary tool and some supplies from the EastWood Company? I think I still have an old Hot Rod magazine somewhere where they go into detail about how to P&P an (iron) V-8 head.

That is a cast iron head in the picture of that site, just alittle different from a aluminum head.
There are electric die grinders that you could use. A Dremel and any accessory fittings that fit it would be incredibly slow if it would work at all. The thing has little torque when you use it. I use it for cutting rust out on small areas with a fine wheel. I go thru about 10 wheels in 10 minutes, cutting out a 2"x2" piece. My day was fine although I got soaking wet. I just think there are waay better tools to do a home porting job and be sucessful. The job is a pain why make it worse! Geoff |
