Started port matching the intake on the tree fiddy using various files I found laying around and a router bit on the end of dremel (none of which are made for aluminum. )

The end result of me having no idea what im doing.

Usually that’s done with a metal cutting bit and a die grinder. Even with an appropriate bit, a Dremel might have trouble dealing with the heat build up. I killed a Dremel once doing doing some grinding on a trailer for a light cutout that I should’ve been using a die grinder for.  I was just being lazy and didn’t want to move the trailer to where an air hose would reach.

Pro tip: hit your bit or file against a candle to coat  it in wax before grinding aluminum. Prevents build up. But it does need to be reapplied periodically.

First time I've heard that from an actual pro

Not a great plan for aluminum if you're going to be TIG welding it, but for porting it's brilliant.

Not the tip itself, I meant hearing "pro tip" and having it actually be a pro tip

Lol I know I was just adding to it  a bunch of others starred it as well. So I figured clarification wouldn't be a bad idea
