It was a lot of work, but I am proud of it and I can honestly say I did as perfect of a job as I can. I am going to try to do another in a couple weeks when my hand stops shaking and my dremel cools off.

Nice looking port job! Did you use a pneumatic die grinder or a Dremel tool?
When I port matched my heads to my extrude-honed intake & port matched hard plastic intake manifold gaskets, I did the same thing.
Stuffed a towel down each port and then put 2 layers of masking tape on top of that.
When I was done, I vacuumed out all the metal shavings from on top of the tape.
Pulled that layer of tape and vacuumed again.
No more metal shavings!
(Though...It was pretty scary doing it!...)
