ok...now I know that this is usually something left for pros with C&C machines to do but with no plans for a really heavy port and polish, I'm wondering if anyone has done this task themselves?
I've got a set of 00 PI heads. One is brand new and one is used and really dirty and gross looking. I'm planning on at least cleanign it up really good but the intake ports and exhaust ports are very rough on both of them. I was wondering, If I took my time, would there be any chance for me to screw up the heads if I were to take a dremel and some sanding and polishing tips and just lightly buff down the roughness to a smoother surface on the intake and exhaust runners and on the inside of the combustion chamber where the valves are?
I really don't have the money to get someone to do it and with other parts needed to get the headswap done, I'd rather spend the money on that stuff and do this myself.
Again, I'm not trying to port the heads. I just want to smooth them out and clean them with the dremel cause brake cleaner didn't do the job and they look like ass. Lots of crap on the inside of the runners and exhaust ports which in my opinion, can't be good.
Any body think this is something that can be done?
