Default Tools to home blend my bowls?

I want to blend the bowls and remove the intake hump on a set of 99 heads. Does anyone have a link to the grinding bits/sand paper rolls I need to do this?

Also before and after pics and/or results would greatly help!

Thanks,
Terry

This place has all the cool stuff.

For the final finish, I'd use some of these... they work very easily and leave a finish as good as any I've seen.

I use a tullip shaped 5/8" single cut burr to rough cut to the shape I want then I use a sand paper roll kit to smooth all of the choppy out and fine tune the shape. Be sure to blend the concave just behind the seat on the intake and exhaust ports. You will see and feel the dip in the port just behind the steel seats, just blend it into the work you do around the valve guide. Also if you get a 6" cutting burr you can knock that bump down on the intake side that is under the intake rocker bolt.

Wow, that's a cool site!

I was thinking I could just get maybe 10 rolls of the straight 80 grit, 10 rolls of the taper 80 grit, and maybe a polishing piece to finish it up. I don't plan to remove too much material, I just want to clean the ports up a bit and blend the bowl. Think that is enough?


Thanks,
Terry
