Plenum port openings
I went to pull my plenum off to do a port job on it but one thing stopped me: The gaskets were already port matched. I then proceeded to measure the plenum port openings, and got right around 1.60". Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the factory cast plenums supposed to have a 1.470" opening? I would say that the previous owner already did a port job, except for the fact that there is NO machine work evident, no cuts, grinds, or anything. Just the factory castings. Can anyone offer any insight?

Yes the walls are still there, they haven't been touched, nothing in the plenum has.
