Won a set on Ebay.. The reamer you need is 21/32 through 23/32 adjustable reamer. Someone correct me if I'm wrong I believe that's in the .710 range for tolerance. |

http://www.chadwickreamers.com/angle_bl ... fractional By hand with a tap handle, unless you have a way to set up the part and hold it down perfectly staight on a drill press. It's important to get the reamer started straight. The one in the link has a pilot sleeve. Also turn the reamer clockwise coming out of the bushing too. |

so its basically just like running a tap. I can remember using a reamer when rebuilding heads when I was in high school but its been quite a while since I was in school. I am considering going to lonestar college to take some courses on welding and maybe some machinist classes. I have always loved seeing people use those cool tools. |
