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.

I would have to agree. My Dremel is garbage except perhaps for polishing small shiny-bits
My issue with home porting is that you'll never get the ports to match and the flow rates will be different for each cylinder. In an 8 cylinder it's not as big a deal, but in a 4 cylinder if each cylinder isn't pumping the same amount you get a rough idle. Maybe it's not that noticeable, and maybe it's not that important. I just couldn't port my own heads for this reason. |
