Re: anyone know anyone that smooth alum intakes
Find yourself a comfortable bench and stool then start grinding! I did 95% of mine with a 3" angle grinder. When those pads wore out I cut them down and used my cut down mandrel base (3 to 1.5) and this allowed me to get into the tighter places.

Re: anyone know anyone that smooth alum intakes
Some advise......only do the top of the timing cover area, the front of the heads and the water pump. This is the only areas that really show after you get everything bolted up. This will save you a ton of time!
