For those of you that have done your own heads, what are you using for the job?

I found that the Summit 6" long bits worked very well for shaping aluminum.

This other kit for close-in work is good as well:

Their kit of sanding rolls is good to have on hand as well. Keeping a small cup of transmission fluid to dip them in kept them from getting clogged with aluminum. Wear a dust mask and goggles. That junk goes everywhere.

Not that my heads were any good though. I did a set of LT1 heads, they were all over the board. Stock intake flowed about 205 cfm at peak. My ports ranged from 195 to about 235. I junked the heads. They looked OK, but they certainly didn't flow very well. I did learn a lot about port shape though and things that can go wrong.

I gave up on porting heads, but I still reach for those sanding rolls and cutting bits all the time for doing stuff. They come in very handy.

I actually ran across some very nice metal cutting, long shank burs in sets of 3 for $12 at a hamfest, my aluminum cutting burs I bought at fastenall and am thrilled with them. I also have a MrGasket set of sanding rolls… and the only problem with them is that the mandrels that come with them are 6mm rather then ¼”, so they don’t play nice in most grinder collets… even on imported grinders they still usually supply them with ¼” collets… I ended up buying a 1/4” mandrel at fastenall also.

Mondello has several kits ranging from beginner porters all the way up to professional. Best in the business use Mondello.

this kit comes with the mandrel used to hold the sanding cartridges...works very well to smooth out the rough work you did with the metal bits...
