Sawsall/reciprocating saw ftw (for those w/o a torch or plasma).

It will make the rough cut easier & then it's just trimming to final ID.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
