        This looks like a good time to mention something that has been
        around for awhile. Special tools sold by parts co. 
        Being a designer/instrument maker and having the background 
        in machining, I have access to the tooling industry 
        which the everyday LBCer does not. But when I look at the
        prices that Moss, TRF, VB, etc. wants for reamers, cutters
        and the likes, it's no wounder people feel that they need to
        take there cars to some one else to have "The special machining"
        done. Yes, just having the tool does not mean the job will come
        out right, proper use of the tool also is needed. But with some
        careful thought how the tool is going to be used and what it's
        going to do, you can probobly come up with a jig, and a mechine
        to use the tool in. 

        For those who want to give it a try and do not want to pay 
        the big buck for the tool, all the reamers needed to work
        on your LBC can be obtained from a tool and die supply house.
        If you need a name give me a call.

        Just my 2 cents.

        paul
