This is as far as I went today... took me several hours. I know more experienced people can do this in like 10 minutes.

I will snap some. I was unable to find different carbide bits in my country, so I used ONE to do everything.

That template looks like someone tried to use it as a porting guide instead of a marking guide. Anyway work at it, your doing ok from what I can tell. Make sure you chamfer the exhaust ports so you dont munch the apex seals.
