For anyone that used a dremmel to modify the Waterpump housing. I'm assuming you need to use the grinding stone. Is it possible to get the job done with one but or do I need more? What bit works best?

Diamonde carbide is the way to do it, unless you want to take all day.

I did it by hand file, lol. I used the stone age method and it took about 5 hours for all four notches, haha.

I used a stone bit, but I also used my die grinder that I use on heads/intakes. I think I used two bits, but it also took about 20 minutes.

You dont want a wheel, you want a cutter bit. Like this.

No jest here,

I used two or three of the heavy duty cutting wheels sandwhiched together and it worked great. It probably says somewhere on the packeage not to stack them but it's worked well for me. I know some people hate the wheels because they always break them, you just have to make sure you are moving the wheel(s) in 1 flat plane.
