You are correct Sir … You are correct Sir !
What I do is hold the gasket up there or use bolts to hold it flat in place and then use a squirt of aerosol paint (any Color).
Then port to the edge.
Also the name of the paint at the start of the Vid scares me.
IF YOU CAN’T BEAT’EM THEN DYKEM?
Jim doesn’t say not … Jim doesn’t say not to use carbide burrs but that you should practice using them on a scrap head before attempting to use them on a good one. A carbide burr can quickly take off more metal than you intended if you’re not careful.
Very true.I port, … Very true.I port,polished and matched the cases on my yz125;all aluminum and I used carbide bits my first time and no problems but I have used them for ALOT of other things which helps.
a squirt of paint … a squirt of paint works in place of dykem
a couple short bolts/washer to hold gasket, instead of hand holding gasket works better.
no carbide? that’s gonna take a LONG time to port.
even if this a novice diy vid
