Any place to buy port and polish kits locally?

[stephen4785]

Im trying to find a kit tomorrow or Monday if at all possible. Anyone know where I can get one?

They're just called, "rotary tools bits/accessories." They're available in all kinds of sizes and all kinds of grits at Home Depot, etc. Since they wear out anyway, just go to HF and load up.

Iv found the tiny ones for dremels but I can find any larger flap wheels or any of the cone shapped sand paper rolls w/ arbors?
I went to lowes and asked one of the tool employees.

They'll be in the big, "walled off," tool section near the drill bits at the front of a Lowes or Home Depot.

Valve job > port/polish

Shaping ports correctly takes years of skill, and polishing doesn't do shit.

True.
Valve job as well.. Doesn't really matter that much on the exhaust side, Just opened it up a bit to match gaskets and polished it up..

How canyou say that? The way your statement reads means noone can port and polish...that and a bad valve job can kill the best port job ever.

I'm modding the stock intake(Kegger) on my 01 dodge. I'm not trying to go crazy with it. I'm going to cut the runners down and clean up some slag. Iv tried my hand at porting before and I took off so much metal that the port broke into the water jacket. So from that point on I decided to leave the porting up to the Pros.

don't use double-cut burrs on aluminum!
