I have been trying to read up a bit on porting/polishing the upper and lower intakes. Most of what I have seen says you should NOT polish the intakes. now is that just for the lower, or both intakes? If the reason not to polish is to increase turbulence and therefore fuel mixture, then wouldn't it be a good idea, in fact, to polish the upper? a polished upper would create faster airflow, allowing a faster entrance speed into the lower (in theory). am I anywhere close?
i'm all for hearing the different ideas and approaches, but if possible, could you post some URLs of sites to back up your argument, if you can? that would really help. is there somewhere that I can go and get information? any books anywhere?
here's why i am asking. i have a spare upper and lower intake coming to me for my explorer, and i am going to gasket match them and hopefully port them as best i can with my dremel. I need a carbide bit, right?
also, the guy that i'm picking up the intakes off of is including the injectors because he doesn't feel like removing them himself. these injectors have 80K miles on them, whereas mine have 117K+ on them. i know there's some way to test injectors (using a ohmeter?).. anyone know how? if they are good, I am probably going to use his. i'll be putting new seals on whatever injectors i do end up using.
thanks
