Re: Looking for a lonely 300 head

Tom,
   Yeah, I mentioned that option in my original post, but like you 
said, it's labor intensive, and more importantly I was afraid to alter 
the CC shape.  But since then I have already ground out most of the 
pits, so I'll have to head down that path now regardless.  What 
equipment did you use to cc your heads?  I've seen kits with a plexi 
square that goes over the CC w/ a tiny hole, and a graduated burette 
that fills the CC.  They tend to be expensive, though.  Any ideas?
Thanks,
James J
