The main thing to think about is to make the passage as straight as possible. You want to keep the curves as easy as possible. The main thing is to make sure that all the connections match at the connection joints

You could use a dremel as the tool and I don't quite know what you'd want as an attachment.

Look up on eBay for porting and polishing, I found someone selling a guide to 2-stroke porting, so maybe there is a guide to 4-stroke porting also.

You will want a selection of these style bits to do the ruff cutting.

And a selection of stones to help with the clean up of the ports.

And to finish up, a selection of sanding wheels to put the final finish on everything

Also you will need to get the flex shaft device for the dremel, to allow you to reach fully into the port.
