Its pretty easy to do. there are a few kits floating around that come with all the accerories you need to do it which is really nice. cause you'll spend a lot of time and money getting the stuff seperatly. look @ jegs or summit I know they have the kits.

I went and got mine from a local shop... Ask the shops around you if they have any for sale....

Its not hard, but it takes alot of time....to do it right anyway.

what kind of kit would i ask for? I have seen some grinding barbs and some sand paper barbs. not sure what s best can anyone post there kit or picts of what they used?

Don't use a dremel. I tried it once and hopefully will never have to do it again. You want a big, low RPM, torque monster grinder. One of the most useful bit's I have experience with is a 1x.5" (I believe) oval bit with a 3" shaft. Then stock up on a bunch of cartridge rolls (40, 60, and 80). And don't go buck wild removing material from the ports. Honda ports flow awesome from the factory. Check out www.theoldone.com There's a ton of good info on that site.

Here is a link to an old tech article on our website. The backgrounds are gone, so a few sentences are hard to read. It shows the process we used to port/gasket match HF manifolds.

yeah don't remove alot of material beacause honda stuff flows great from the factory. port matching is easy and will get you the most improvement.
