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.

sigpicHow to make High performance Emissions:
A "true" High flow converter, straight pipe.
Low/No flow EGR valve, block off plate.
Carbon canister and purge valve mod, place in large 30 Gallon can, cover, and place curbside, the city will do the rest.
PCV valve and vent tube, reroute to exhaust to dump where it belongs, on the ground. Or add breathers and let it all free. -
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
nothing's impossible-it's just a mindset -
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 expensiveComment

I get that kind of stuff from Harbor Freight. Even if they are not high quality, but they aren't used everyday by me.or 6 and 8 inch long metal grinding bits, but those are expensiveComment

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

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.Ben

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.sigpicHow to make High performance Emissions:
