Default Compression Releases...

Looking to install compression releases in an Evo motor but have never machined a head before. Which brand releases should I use?
I see that Jims makes a guide tool with drill bits and all but it says it's for Twin cam motors. Is there a specific tool for Evo heads? I plan on using mechanical not electric..

My compression is so high that the starter sounds like an electronic capacitor loading up and then firing off.... I don't want to cause any premature starter issues or for that matter get stranded somewhere. Thanx.

No i don't have a mill and after doing some research i think I'm gonna have to just send them out.... I have to much invested in the heads and don't want to ruin them...

Thanx anyways Kirby.....
