It is fun isn't it...
Certainly others may laugh but I did a good deal of my injector port matching with large hand files and I particularly like the fine control I have with those. It also beats the respirator mask/goggles/ear defenders and running the shop-vac full-time that I've used while power-porting. The non-powered method may help you ease up to the line.
I also (following VAP's suggestion) used a dark marker pen to colour the mating area, then scribed ever so lightly into that ink/dye, rather than into the alloy of the head; that made the 'border' easier to see while working.
