tools for engine mods
just wondering what tools some of you use to mod engines?
I'm not talking about the ones that you need a shop or a second garage to have, just the ones the average guy can afford..
a good set of needle files maybe?
also the first thing I want is some kind of stand with a big a$$ magnifying glass because my eyes suck..

You need to have a dremel tool and carbide cutting bits.

thanks.. a dremel is what I used for my first engine mod.. my hand is steady enough but my eyes didn't want to stay focused, thus the need for the mag glass....
I just modified the ports, not into messing with the timing yet..
