I've been doing a lot of thinking about my little 1776 engine. I need some better heads for this motor, but I don't have any sort of budget left to use for it. I'm conserving my $$$ for my 2275 build up that I hope to start within a month AND the convertible resto that I hope to get back to at the same time.
Soooo, I thought that I'd give amatuer head porting a shot. I'm not looking to create anything real elaborate or wild, just a simple port and polish. Therefore, I'm going to be needing some new rotary files to do the job. Ordinarily, I'd buy some come inexpensive bits at Harbor Freight to use, but I hate using metal tools that loose their sharpness in only a few minutes of use. That happened with some rotary files that I bought from Home Depot when I had to rebuild the nutserts in my running board fastening plates. So, I'm going to need to locate some decent rotary file bits.
Anybody know of a brand name that makes quality bits? I don't need top of the line tools, just something that will last for the duration of this job.
