[Shotimes] Gasket Matching on the Intake

[Bruce Malachuk]

Dremels have replaceable brushes that cost like $4, and as long as you don't
spend 5 hours straight at a time grinding it really shouldn't kill them. A
dremel will make up in speed what a drill cannot, a decent corded drill will
do about 2500rpm, a dremel will do up to 35,000rpm. I have found a decent
price on varying size porting rolls at http://www.eastwoodco.com/ and 80
grit and 120grit will work awesome. Plus I have some Tungsten Carbide
Structured Tooth cutters coming that will really remove metal quick if I
need it. Those coubled with the different tapers and rolls, and perhaps a
60-80grit conical stone should be very easy to do what I want to do. One
other this is to make sure there is a lubricant used to save the bits from
getting gummed up with aluminum bits.

If I were going to do something like this as a business I'd get something a
litle more durable than a dremel, but seeing how I'm gonna do 2 sets of
runners, and some work arount the TB, and then the upper portion of the
heads, it shouldn't be too bad. Just gotta use the bits. Otherwise it would
take a lifetime.
