The ground rod I got from mcmaster was a couple tons bigger than the wrist pins so I sanded it down

I measured the radius JE used and found the boring tool that matched

I set up a scrap piece in the vise and used it to set the boring diameter to .100" over the valve size to give 0.050 clearance per side

Then I picked our the piston with the worst looking valve marks, bought the cutter to the mark an moved over 0.050 and cut

They went quick then I changed over to intakes and realized something wasn't right.....the setup piece was centered the next was clearly not?....ahh the vise is moving, add shims the recut everything just to be sure

I notice a couple odd things. The angle on the exhaust pockets was 20 not 21 I think and the spacing on the intakes was 36mm (exhaust side) not 38 but that is all fixed. The piston I realized the lose vise on is ok...but I have 1 more new piston so I'll just replace the does look quite right one. Job done now I can rebalance them
