Do you have any idea how "rough" a rough finish is on the head? | |

quote: where did i say that it would happen in the inlet manifold? i said by polishing the inlet manifold causes it to happen. flowing it wouldnt help as the air coming in need some sort of friction causing it to mix the fuel and air. this is why when the head is polished the inlet valves are left a bit ruff. it was gary from migweb that told me the above | |

quote: the fuel will go in to drop lets before the the fuel in injected right at the bottom of the inlet straight on to the back of the valves???:thumbs: good one Yes flowing it out will help, but it's faily difficult to, and woudl you really feel the 0.5BHP you'd get?? | |

polishing the inlet manifold is not good as it causes the fuel to go into droplits. | |

a mantzel bolts on to the 'rough casted' lower inlet tho | |

A mantzel inlet makes a hell of an increase on these engines. This is not polished, it makes a shorter inlet tract. It's the length of the inlet and the bends that are no good. | |
