Default Looking to rent in-head flycutting tools.

Hey guys, I'm looking to rent flycutting tools that are usable for stock valves. not worried about the flycuts being bigger than the valves so PM me what you have and your price.

It can be done with a stock valve and no other special tools. There's no special tools required to flycut...Just use your brain, haha.

I realize that I can fabricate some jalopy of a device for this, I would just rather use a proven tool that is able to cut in 1/4 of the time with more precision.

Thanks though.

I'm not sure why the term "jalopy" was used.


I can guarentee you using a stock valve for locating the flycut is about the most accurate possible way to dictate where and how deep to go with a flycut. But, I'm sure you are much more experienced than me, so i'll step aside with my jalopy devices and sit in the corner.


Good luck with it!

I like the word jalopy, that's all. Don't you need to radius the cut though? I was looking in the flycutting thread and people were rather quick to dismiss a stock valve turned into a flycutting tool. I'm sure you know what you're doing in this case, and honestly I don't so that's why I was looking for the tools that were made for the job. I'll try anything once though, so give me an idea of what you speak of if you could be so kind.

It's a pretty simple process, just don't go in there hack-jobbing it and ramming the valve down in there. Let the sand-paper do it's work and don't force the cut. We use 40grit air-file paper on ours.

go back and clean up and loose metal and you are good to go. Make sure to get rid of your shavings in each cylinder really well.

Yeah, basically its a valve with "cutting" inserts built in (he will ask what valve sizes your running). Slide it through the guide from the chamber side...from the top of the guide measure your desired relief up the valve stem and tighten down the stop on the valve stem. Use a hand drill and "cut" the desired relief. Repeat 16 times....actully only 8 times, did exhaust and intake during the same "torque down".

Make sure you take all the nessacary procautions to prevent fod. And dont forget to add all of your "build up" into the math.

Iirc to rent it was like $75 bucks or buy for $200ish

thanks....
