you'll need some very accurate measuring tools & some very precise grinding and polishing tools
add that to a complete knowledge of 2 stroke engines & a few years experience and you should be almost there
be prepared to ruin a few engines while you're learning

do you still fancy having a go??

I reckon you should have a go man !!! do it its so easy and its fun and its satisfying !!! youll need a dremmel tool with a polish bit and a conical grinding bit, singer oil, cut and polish compound and patience !!! and this link should give you the rest !
