FWIW:

My Bud and I have done a fair amount of porting on various motors, two and four stroke from Karts, snowmobiles, ATV's and cars. All aluminum heads. Great results.

A few years back we did his GSR head and it worked quite well.

Having said that, we've been using a Dremel tool with a flexshaft and a foot control.

Craytex for smoothing exhaust. Stones and bits and lots of WD-40 for texturizing intake.

I've used 1/4 electric grinders and prefer the Dremel for control on aluminum. Cast iron would be different.

Bit sources:

MSC-Direct
Enco
Standard Abrasives

And, if I remember right, Widgets

Have fun.
John
