Okay, to avoid getting flamed, I've done a little research. Just looking for confirmations and anything I may have left out.
I'm planning on porting and polishing my upper and lower intakes this summer. I've read I need a dremel and a lot of bits, but what kind of bits? Is there a specific grit (like sandpaper) that I should be using? And I'm only opening it up to a gasket matched p&p job. Also, since the fuel doesn't get injected until right above the intake valves, I would want to do a really smooth finish on the intake manifolds, right? Is there anything I should be aware of or careful about when doing this other this?
If I get crazy, and decide to try and p&p the heads, I've heard that you want a rough finish on the intake ports. Somebody recommended an 80 grit bit to provide turbulance to mix the air and fuel. But would I do a really smooth finish on the exhaust ports? And, should I even attempt the combustion chamber?
How come we don't have a how-to article on this? Has anybody ported and polished a gen3 duratec?
Thanks.
