- Quick update on my DCOE project, I purchase a new set of intake manifolds, Cannon instead of TWM, and the fit is much better. I'll be able to use my existing header without any modifications. But now

- I use a high speed die grinder and find that an egg shaped burr is good for general aluminum work. To prevent galling use machining wax that comes in a tube that looks like a grease gun cartridge. Y

- NEVER grind it with a high speed stone such as on a bench mounted grinding wheel. When it "loads it up" there is a possibility that the stone will come apart with catastrophic consequences for you. I

- I have used a burr quite successfully when I have done this. You can also try a wheel but it must be very coarse to stop the loading that you refer to. For final finishing, I wrapped a bunch of steel
