You can purchase all you need through ISKY cams.
We can set you up if you need.

All you need is a drill and some time...you buy the cutters according to the valve sizes and set up accordingly.

From what ive read you have to pull the valve guides in order to use the tool? So i think you need a junk head?

I dont know about better, going that route would be fine, and would work like a charm. But I think its a less complicated and cheaper job just cutting reliefs than it is tearing down the engine to replace perfectly good pistons? But thats just me?

if you cut to deep, yes, but if everything is done right you should not sacrifice the integrity of the material or the piston
