All,
   I'm GOING TO port and polish my own heads.  I might even reshape a combustion
chamber if I can find the appropriate info.  I have got the Head Modification 
book by Vizard, How to Powertune the B by Vizard(maybe) and the Blueprinting
Engine book by somebody else.  I've read all the books and am looking for some
more......theoretical or practicle.  I'm really pumped about learning this
stuff.

Questions:
   1.  Any other books out there that I can devour?
   2.  What kind of grinder\polisher should I look into?

   I've read that a flex drive is preferred and the RPMs must be at least 15000.
Dremel has a Model #732 that seems like the cats meow.  Got the RPM's.  Got the
cutters.  Got the flex drive.  I emailed Dremel and they said the 1/5 HP
motor would
easily handle the jobs in question.
   I've checked out the standard die grinders and believe they have an
aftermarket
flex drive availuable but I wonder about the service.  Vizard has some
thoughts on
tools but I'm not sure the Dremel wouldn't be a step up (it's a new product).
   I would REALLY appreciate responses to both questions from anybody with
experience
or just a good idea.  I don't see any other books on point but I know there
out there.
                                                      Really Pumped
                                                     Gregg Baker
