shaving the intake

[mikus]

just picked up intake and figure I'll shave and polish it some, since I'm in no rush, low budgeting this and so forth

Didn't see any good instructional, seems pretty basic - tape up, angle grinder, machine sand, hand sand, shine up, clean up. Beer. Any tips?

Quoting mikus:

take your time and port it as the intake manifold is off the car. port match the intake to the felpro gasket

 

just make sure you use a special disk on the angle grinder for ally as a regular one can explode if used on ally.

 

i just shaved the ribs off and not the ECI MULTI part and it took me about 45 mins. and then i smoothed the rest of the manifold thats visible for powdercoating so its a smooth black. its pretty easy just take your time.

note: i used an 18v drill and a multi prep disc set from walmart lol.
