Default Fly cutting pistons.....

So speaking with LG motorsports today I decided I am going to go a bit more radical with heads and cam than I am currently. I am upgrading to AFR 205's with 59cc chambers and their GSX3 cam. I WILL NEED TO FLYCUT MY PISTONS but...............440-455 RWHP with a smaller cam than I am running now, WOW!!!

LG has the tool I am going to need to do the job and speaking with the gentleman there........ it is a piece of cake. Put a power drill on thier moke-up head that has the cutting tool for 10 seconds per cylinder and mic them to spec. Can anyone verfy that this is truly or close to what it is............is it a piece of cake???

Any useful advise you could offer to someone who barely cuts the cheese much less pistons on a $50K car. I would greatly appreciate it because to be honest with each of you, I could break an anvil.

Thanks for your help and your time.

God Bless

If you don't trust yourself to do it, I would definately pay someone to do it. You don't want to **** up your pistons.

Agreed. Might not be a big deal, until you hear "oops". Its kinda like when someone is working on the space shuttle during a space walk and you hear "oh man, that's gonna leave a mark upon re-entry".

The Search Button must be broke on this board again. It's not hard, just time consuming. Get yourself a good drill and the smallest right angle drill adapter you can find because getting at the 2 back cylinders on the passenger side is a bitch. Cut a little deeper for future cam swaps, you don't won't to have to do this chore twice.
