Cool

Cutters to unshroud the exhaust valve and then I use the large flapwheels going from 60-80-120 grit. The flapwheels are the most used thing in my shop besides cutting bit when it comes to porting/polishing. I actually pulled the heads after the engine had a few hundred miles on it and checked the swirl pattern and noticed the intake side was experiencing wash, so I dimpled that area to produce some atomization and it's got a ncie clean burn all around. Something else to consider since you want swirl in the combustion chamber
