That way with the low speed you can take your time and see your progress. Scribe your ports using your gaskets as a reference so you know where to stop and to keep the ports the correct shape. People get into trouble when they rush and then realize they took too much off or loose control of the tool and hit a valve seat. I'm no expert by any means but I've done two sets of heads just port matching and smooting/opening up the exhaust ports never messing with the fuel bowl or combustion chamber..When I did my 289 heads I picked up a tenth at the drag strip just doing the exhaust ports. Not too bad for a 30 year old drill and $5 in sanding rolls. Yea you could have a pro do it if your trying to squeeze every last horsepower but where is the fun in that? I say definitely do it yourself and be proud of YOUR accomplishments. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>phil a</b> <br /><small>Member # 6951</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,5,20,11,3,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by x42bnx:<br /><strong>just buy from walmart it's like $70 then return it. </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Classy <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SLOWSN95</b> <br /><small>Member # 8269</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,5,21,13,11,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I've got the best trick and tip.. take the heads to a professional <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>sinisterblk</b> <br /><small>Member # 8425</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,5,21,18,7,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by SLOWSN95:<br /><strong> I've got the best trick and tip.. take the heads to a professional <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Bad advice, you can do this yourself.
