Um... you'll need a die-grinder and a damn good air-compressor...
really... you don't want to "crash course" learning to port...

It is trickier than you might think... my suggestion would be to get the kit you want, a good air-compressor, a good die-grinder, and some scrap heads from the junkyard.
I should explain myself a little more clearly. By "tricky" I mean you need to make sure you preserve sealing sufaces, not break into any water or oil jackets and not thin the walls to the point of cracking under heat/pressure.
A multi-angle valve-job also requires more tools and a decent amount of patience.
Instead of worrying or buying more tools, I tend to actaully pay for CNC head work...

This one is cylinder head related... I just did a quick search on barnes and noble.
Those looked pretty good. Hope it helps.

Good info Duck. I'm gonna be porting a Mark VIII intake rather soon...this should come in handy."A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station... you figure it out ..."Comment
