I've got my engine on a stand, and I'm not taking it apart. I don't have money for new bearings, etc. How do I notch my pistons to make my valves clear. (TFS Stage 2 cam, 1.90/1.60 valves with 1.6RRs). I've heard of using a Dremel, but what bit? I've also heard of using a grinder with a small grinding wheel, but I can't find anything smaller 3 1/2". Any other suggestions? I don't have access to an old set of heads, so getting the tool that sits in it is out of the question.
