I used a dremel with the snake attachment and some sanding rolls. The make skinny ones for rolling into the corners.

Phil...

Your better off with a "single cut" carbide and finishing it with some sandrolls when you are finished. It would take forever with sanding rolls....there is alot of material removal if you do it right (a PILE of plastic chips when I'm done).

Get yourself a .375 and a .500 oval bit and make sure you get the extended shank versions that are 6" long to get up in there better. MSC sells them for around $35-$45 a piece but they will last a long time because they are carbide (and I'm sure they are available elsewhere also).

Have fun grinding....

No wonder it took me 2 days to finish mine. I had more of a "pile of plastic dust" when I was done.

Tony are you just porting the intake runners, or are you doing other parts also
