i just finished gastket matching/MILD porting/polishing my new heads. i used a dremel with a cylinder style grinding stone that was a little bigger than 1/4" diameter. i heard not to use a dremel, but it worked very well and fast, just let the dremel do the work, dont let it jump and dont rush. i finished everything off with various grades of emery cloth.i went over each combustion chamber lightly with emery cloth just to clean them up. tomorrow, im going to blast the heads with some compressed air and some carb. cleaner. and they're ready to go...with the blingin chrome edelbrock valve covers...they're nice, but each cover only has one hole, one for the filler and one for PCV, i dont have that deceleration valve thing that runs between the intake tube and the valve cover, so no problems!

 

did know the intake runners need to be roughed up similiar to how they were stock so the fuel doesnt puddle just a thought incase you didnt know

 

it's to help atom-a-sation. mix the air/fuel with semi turbulent airflow.

 

i was aware of that. i only went over the intake runners lightly with the sand paper, i did more porting than polishing on that side

 

awesome man i juist wanted to make sure ive seen alot of ppl make that mistake

 

hey did u ever get ur old heads off
