Yeah, polish probably wasn't the correct term for that picture. There was all sorts of oxidation and residue from moisture running into the intake. What was pictured was after a good bit of 180 grit dremel attachment to smooth it all out. Once the JB weld sets (tomorrow) I'll follow up with 320 grit which should yield more of a "polished" look. The set of tools I bought came with 180/320 so I had just as well use it..

I cleaned up the exhaust gasket surface with a stone (there was evidence of blow-by on new gasket) but I haven't done anything on the exhaust side. I figured I would have to redo the intake with the 30mm carb anyway and also the exhaust when I source 1" pipe.
