EDIT: (Totally rewrote this)
Alright so wanting to learn as much as possible about these things, and to get over being timid when it comes to modifications like this, i want to attempt to port my own cylinder.
I saw a post about which bits to get for the dremel, which i will pick up, and i also need a file set. Both of which i will invest in coming up, and i am in no way in a hurry with this project. When ripping the head off of my crank, the top of the piston has some build up of im assuming old gas/oil mixture. Extremely tough on there, but if i soak the tip of the piston in seafoam, id expect it to come off like nothing.
I've also read as much as i can and seen as many pictures as i can on this subject, so I have an idea where and what to do, but with every first time, im still scared. I surely do not want to screw this up, but ****, thats how we learn, right?
Anyways, i just want to get the basics down, so i really dont wanna butch the head too much, but i would like to smooth some things out and polish them.
Again, since my head is completely stock, from what i can see, i kinda know what to do, but i would like some advice on what extremities to take it to.
I will be posting some pictures following this edit to illustrate what im working with.
Thanks for your time guys and i look forward to reading and learning from this.
This will not happen over night, and i will not start it until im 100% ready with the tools and such.
