2L 8v Porting/ Polishing questions

Obviously the same sort of things apply to all porting/ polishing heads.

Ive just started looking into this today and andy has given me a few sites to read on, just wondering if there is any (obvious or not) tips you could give me when doing this.

im obviously going to be doing a few weeks of hard research about it yet.

Any problems you might have come across when doing it :dontknow:

asking you guys as you have the same car as me, you have to be the best people to ask.

Thankyou

remeber not to fully polish the inlet but polish the exhaust... this is so you have turbulance within the air to mix fuel and air.. but the quicker you can get the zorst gases out the better so polish ur butt off...
