Unless you have a cnc lathe.... the only way to get it done is to take it to a machine shop... tell them the overbore size you want. Make sure they cut you a new butterfly to go with it wink1.gif

You can port match the IM yourself and i think there is a posted DIY for that

A very good machinist in my area wanted $40 to do it, so you could get it done for a fairly cheap.
