| not sure on dremel. would take forever. i want to say angle grinder but it might be too much for a slight notch. i say try dremel, and if it isn't doing what you want it to go lightly with a angle grinder. |

| A rotary tool with a cutting disk works wonders. Then just clean up the edges with a dremel abrasive pad. |

What he said, if you take an angle grinder on an aluminum block, things will happen fast and once it's been taken off, you can't put it back on.
With something like this, you'll want to take your time to do it right with little to no mistakes. |

| Worst case scenario if I screw up this block I'll just find myself an LS block and sell the rods I have now. I just wanted to use the B16 block because I don't want to deal with running an oil line and not having a girdle, and custom pistons are cheap. |

Thats exactly what I used last time I had to do some block work. It worked great, the key thing is to take your time and keep checking your progress. Dont just take a bunch out and then see if its enough. Small steps are best.

| Plot it all out with a marker and then make sure you have the proper angle. And always clean up your rough edges. Because you will hurt yourself later and be pissed the fuck off after the fact if you don't. Trust me, I know. :thumbup: |
