Making Logs
 
When you guys make logs, do you just use a torch or plasma cutter to cut out the hole for the turbo flange?

I've used the chopsaw to get it started, and the angle grinder to finish it off. If I had a drill press or something it could be easier, but that's what's worked for me.

Thats the only method ive used for the logs, but depending on what you have with the plasma, that route might be easier.

For the ones pictured there, we just used a drill press and a hole saw. We cut two holes, and then used a die grinder to take care of the rest.

actuaslly fook, plasma does not own for cutting th et3 flange section. a angle grinder is faster in the end. plsama may cut a lil faster, but the time spent changing to your die grindger to clean up the rouh endges and slag is so not worth it.

the plasma must be used for wg holes though. thats just what ive figured out.

Hey, nice manifold. For a SOHC 240 right? I use a plasma, probably one of the best tools I have ever bought.
