Coffee Shop / barter fairs/trade meets?

Are there any swap meets for this kind of mechanical stuff in Michigan, and if there are where and when are they?  Do they get posted here somewhere that I could check once in a while?

Briggs Flathead / Polish and REDUCE(?) exhaust outlet??
« on: November 05, 2012, 07:34:06 am »
Parr-dune my ignoramusness, but I've read in previous posts a couple times that making the oppy threaded exhaust SMALLER(!) by putting in a 3/4" pipe nipple flush with the block actually INCREASES the amount of work (torque) the oppy puts out?  A low-rpm hard-twisting engine is what I want, thus my interest in the oppy twin.  This reduction is counter-intuitive to my understanding of port and polish, but I can take it on faith from wiser minds and do it if that statement is correct.  Any more I could do to make the oppy a strong-twisting low revving engine?  I have Don's DVD, and the oil mods are a must, as is adding slickeryness to the ports.  (man, would that reduction cause a poo-storm about pumping losses in my other engine groups...)
