So I busted out the Dremel, that wasnt a help either. With a rough sanding wheel, I was able to "clean" and "smoothen" 6 inches and the bit was destroyed.
Any suggestions on cleaning up the cuts (leveling them out)? Im out of ideas, and dont really want to spend 45 minutes with a file to get nowhere.
Anyway, I know you guys are pic hungry, so heres a pic of the jig.

hmm, do you have a die grinder? or anything like that? that could work. i have used a die grinder for similar things and made nice cuts. a dremel with a cut off wheel should work.
that engine looks great, i hope when you buy yours mike you chrome it out, and add more details! make it like a boyd style motor all chrome!?
