drum rolls, mounted points, etc.
does anyone use any metal bits?

I bought a kit from Snap On once and played around on a sohc head. I think it was like $40, and came with all kinds of fun stuff.

 

you dont know what that was called do you?

 

Standard abrasives makes several kits that are perfect for our cars/heads Summit sells just about any kit they make and they have some for great prices too. (i.e. under $30)
I think this is the kit i used and had a ton left over.

You're going to want something like this

they're called 'burrs,' for use with air powered die grinders

 

I just bought the "big" dremel kit at Wal-Mart. It had just about everything I've every needed.

 

I used some extra large ones from this seller on ebay and still use them on my manifolds and stuff, only takes a second on the aluminum though, go easy on it they like to cut quick!

the longer ones are nice to get down in there.

can you use a high rev dremel for some light porting and polishing or should i use air equip!? i would just be doing some port matching and de-burring...

 

on light light stuff itd be fine. but you can also get an electric die grinder

Also, you can look up part numbers for the Standard Abrasives stuff here (good if you need a whole kit, not just bits) and order them through Summit.
