Do you pull each piston out to notch them, or is it done in the block. I can't see that happening due to metal fragments.

Fivepoint; Time to get out the tool catalog. There is a cutter you can buy frome Crane that come with the arbor that you put in a 1/2" drill and then do them yourself at home.
I've had one for years...
Works good...
I don't think the thing would cost $60 even nowadays.........
I sort of wonder why you need that much cam also....
why would you suggest that? if you can afford aftermarket heads.....get them otherwise whats the point of keeping stock? they suck and everyone know it. and if you cant afford those try GT40's. Still better than stock and worst case, work them over and notch your pistons. i've seen some sick gt-40's out and about. I wouldnt even give my E7's to Rwanda refugees. just throw those things away.

Stock heads are garbage, no way around it. you can polish a turd, but at the end of the day, you've still got a p.o.s.
