the last one on the right came out a littled bigger than the other ones cause i was on an angle with the drill to get under the cowl. will that be ok??

 

It's a pain in the *** isn't it?? LOL. All of mine are different sizes, and it is still together. What are you using to keep the shavings out of your engine? Also, are you using a head without valve seats in it to mount the tool in?

 

looks fun

 

im putting tape over the cylinder bores then shop vaccing the shavings up. im using tea's flycutting jig-a hollowed out head and the bit goes right in it.

 

heres a pic with my drill and tea's jig

Keep us informed... How deep are you cutting, just wondering???

I am probably 3 weeks right behind you...

 

all done well i tried to stay around .065-.070 but one of them is a little deeper

 

It wil be ok as long as you cant see the crank through the cuts.

 

Good job. I enjoy following your progress becasue this is exactly what I want to do when I do the heads.

 

 

Be very,very carefull.I don't even use a drill and it takes me 20-30 seconds to cut them by hand with a rachet wrench.Those look pretty deep in the pictures to me.

 

pdd, what kind of heater and radiator hoses are the red ones in the pic? Where did you get them? Thanks

 

i got them at lingenfelter's web site

 

I just visited their website and looked under cooling and engine components and had no luck finding them. Maybe discontinued or I was not looking in the right spot. THanks for the info!

 

where did you get the flycutting tool?

 

this car still runs fine after a few runs to redlines

 

from TEA

 

So thats fly cutting pistons


I had my valves cut some pistons for me

 

Hopefully not mine too Andrew!

Try an right angle drill on the rears, much more clearance under the cowl = hind sight is 20/20!

 

I designed a tool that cuts them to the same depth every time. Here are the finished pistons:
