Whether or not they're better than the variable speed Ryobi I use, I cannot say.We’re here to help you Do the Job Right on all engine projects. My tool is prolly 15 years old new Dremels have soft start and load sensing, etc. The Ryobi tool shown is IMO a LOT better tool than an equivalent Dremel. I seldom use stones for anything when porting heads- that's for the die grinder. I also use Erector set axles- they come in lengths up to 18", but 4" or 5" is plenty (you can also use a piece of 1/8" round stock from Home Depot, cut to length). Course you have to wait till the adhesive dries. If you have a few mandrels left over from used up stones, for instance, you can roll them up in a minute- if you're slow. The consumables can be expensive, comparatively speaking, if you use 'store-bought'. I use (for an example) a flex-shaft on a Dremel for finishing the guides- the business end of the flex shaft isn't very large at all so will reach most anywhere. But personally, I think Dremel-type rotary grinders definitely have their place in head porting. You sure as hell do not want to port an entire set of heads w/a Dremel- not that you couldn't- it would be too slow. If you plan on doing "gasket matching" you also should get some cheap layout fluid from Harbor Freight while you're there.įor chamber work you may want to get some stones, it mostly depends on the quality of your valve job and casting, Vortecs for example area relatively clean casting for OEM stuff and you don't need stones, other castings are easier to do with stones, but can be sufficently done with jut cartridge rolls- here's you're not really worried about being smooth and shiney just have a nice even trasition off the valve job. The pro's do it mostly as marketing, people want nice looking ports regardless of performance. The last step isn't really critical to performance but if you plan on showing your work to someone it makes an impression. You'll get a real nice even texture and with alittle pracitce can have professional looking results. After the carbide grinding and a quick evening with a cartridge roll you can apply it to the walls and go bac over it with the cartridge roll on the slowest speed yu can dial it in to. what you're going to use it for is a lubricant. The nonscented, plain jane, cheapest crap you could find kind.

You need it to control the speed, and speed control is very critical.įinally you need to get a cheap tube of chapstick, maybe two.
#Head porting kit full
Those are about $10 and this is another item where people will say you can skip it but they are full of bull. While you're there you need to pick up a rheostat too. The unit itself is on sale from time to time for less than $30. The long nose one that Harbor Freight sells is actaully pretty stout and you can get a 1 year warranty for an additional $10. Dremels aren't worth sh1t when it comes to this work. You also need to get a solid 1/4" electric die grinder- NOT A DREMEL.

Get the 3M 1/2" straight reglite (orange) cartridge rolls, and a 4" mandrel, get two mandrels incase one bends, they're only like $2 so its worth getting an extra though I have 3 mandrels tat have lasted through a lto of work so far. I have about a dozen bis and I use these two 95% of the time. If you want you can also get a 3/8" tree bit on a standard length shank, this one helps some but is not totally necessary. You don't need more than 1 carbide bit, having two make its easier but you can do anything yu need to do wit a 3/8" double cut round nose cylinder bit with a 6" shank (cut the shank down to 4" before you even think of using it though). They cost about 30% more but last about 3 times as long and have a much more consistent finish. I made the mistake of getting one and after hat I used 3M reglite cartridge rolls and the 3M ones are the BEST I've ever used.
