Hey guys, I am taking on a new project for myself, building a backup cylinder head for my comp truck. The current cylinder head was machined before I purchased it, but since then have taken interest in reproducing some of its features. I am interested in cutting Fire Ring grooves in the face of the cylinder head around the combustion chamber. Attached is a photo of the firerings grooves. Grooves must be radius .120 x 4.445 diameter x .014-.016 depth
What tooling should I use to cut these grooves? Can a boring head, with a bar mounted in the horizontal position with a downward protruding radius achieve these results? I assume it would work, but having difficulty finding a 1/2" bar and .120 radiused insert... But, I do not have alot of experience here. Still pretty novice with the Bridgeport and tooling
