Had some PM's on how to turn down the snout. (M90). I posted a pic of my SC project over the weekend in the general section on ClubGP. I didn't want to post this info there, but it's real easy.
I took an old rocker bolt, and threaded it into the snout. Then I clamped the bolt down in my bench vise, very firmly. Now the snout case can trun freely while the bolt is holing the snout shaft in the vise.
Put a sandpaper grinding disc in my right angle hand grinder. My grinder has a common sheild that I was able to rest on the vise to position the disc on the snout without shaking while I was holding.
I put a bolt through one of the bolt holes in the snout (on the side with the long offset and used it like a handle. Then cranking the thing like a Jack in the box, held the grinder on it.
Alternating the disk angle gave me a nice crosshatch pattern, then I switched to a flapper disc to give it a finer surface.
I originally was going to make a jig to attach to the snout and run my head porting tool over it, but that morning this came to me right before I started working on it. By the time the jig would have been made, it was done.
