Street/Bridge Porting questions!
Im not selling rosie, i cant bare to do it. I took off her intake manifold to find a friking HUGE crack in it, thefore i did the neccesarry thing: ordered a webber 48 and intake combo from the shack. With the intake off i wonder and am tempted to attempt porting. The problem is i have no idea how to do it. I sence i will have to dis-asseble the enigne and therfor get a rebuild kit as well... because the gaskets and seals would need replacement. I have a dremel here at home, and at school drill presses, lathes, (one drill press called the "Bridgeport") and stuff. Is there a good tutorial (ive searched, not a n00b) and do i hafta disasemble and stuff?

I just finished street porting my set of R5 side plates yesterday (think 12A with 13B rotor housings). All I used was a dremel with a small assortment of bits.
Since I have a little time here, I'll list what I used. Cutting disks, sanding drums, and a couple garnet stones (cone shaped). I gave up on those xmas tree style bits on my last port job (dremel brand don't seem to work that well).
I still probably wouldn't attempt a bridgeport by myself... at least not without a template.

You could get samples (templates) and try it. What I'd suggest is trying to find some old, worn sidehouses first, just to try it.
Point is: you'll have to rebuild, and that means a lot of work. It's possible to rebuild yourself, but that depends on your skills.
Maybe the $300/500 isn't that bad at all, but of course you'll still need to ad the rebuild costs.
