hey all,

i'm not an expert at this, but there just has to be an easier way. isn't there a tool or some sort of honing tool that would allow one to hone out/resurface a set of runners? the hours some of us spend with a dremel, die grinder,etc.. being able to have a hone on a flexible shaft so that u can clamp the runners down and just do a slow run through with a power drill or highspeed tool would be awesome. that would guarantee the runners are exactly ??mm the whole way through, completely smooth, eliminate pinch points, etc. any ideas guys?

 

As I understand it theres a goopy gel you can run through the ports that can bore them. I'm sure it's mucho casho

 

yeah.. per what i have read here thats a pretty costly process and has to be done at an appropriately equipped shop. what i am lookin for is a tool that you or i could use in our garage... one or 2 passes and done sort of thing.

 

Not realistically, especially not with aluminum.

 

eh... guess it was nice to dream. i'm basically finished with my runners right now anyhow. i know aluminum is quite soft, i just didn't know if you could have a hone travel down it without it just allowing the shaft pressure to work it out the side or just mess the whole runner up.

 

Ran across a web site the other day, they had a kit about $90 enough to do both heads intake and exhaust. In this kit is something like a flap wheel (toilet brush looking thing) on a long rod, for the finish pass.

search under "standard abrasives" and summit use the quotes.
