4" angle grinder & cut-off wheel. I made the rough cuts w/extra material as a fudge factor. That allowed straight cuts & then going back w/a flap disc to slowly dial in my curves. I laid out the lines first for the visual guide & used a template for the curves.

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.
