porting

[95SleeperAcheiva]

I started to do some port and polish work on my intakes yesterday. I got the sanding rolls and a 2" arbor. Now, how do you get to the deeper stuff in the lower ports? Also, anything I should know about lengthening the wires to my ICM and coils? I am moving them from the top of the motor to the flat behind my passenger headlight.

well...to reach the deeper part you'll
need a long(er) grinder,it's that simple.

however the gasket matching is the most effective.
it's also wise to smooth rough casting imperfections.

good luck with porting

you can get 6 inch pieces that you can use the sanding drums on
looks like a long nail with a spiral tip type of deal

or 6 and 8 inch long metal grinding bits, but those are expensive

I get that kind of stuff from Harbor Freight. Even if they are not high quality, but they aren't used everyday by me.

the ones for aluminum are more expensive, i should have added, the ones for steel are less expensive, they also clog REALLY FAST

They take too long for me but if you keep WD-40 on them, they don't clog. I only use them to finish the shape before the sandpaper rolls.

ok, here's a dumb question, lower intake, what "shape" am I going for? So far I did a gasket match to the first 2" or so of the upper ports of the lower intake, thats it, with 80 grit rolls. Also, I noticed after I cleaned the hell out of the intakes, they like to make this nice white powder corrosion, I plan on glass beading them after I'm done P&P them then powder coating them blue. Do I have to worry about the inside ports doing the same rusting affect? BTW, pcv valve and the back valve cover vent have been rerouted to they exhaust so I won't have any emission garbage going down my pretty port work.
