If someone can provide a decent set of pictures showing before/after, I will happily port it out and polish it for you on my lathe.

Cracking, fire us a PM then foreveryoungaus16v! If you send it my way, I'd appreciate it if you could measure the manifold port size so I can match them up, preferably with vernier calipers or something accurate  :smiley:

On an 8v as you can only skim out so much on the lathe before it undercuts on the top side while you still have some step at the bottom.
By the time you have clocked it true on your face plate you could have dremmeled it :smiley:
Buy some Carbide burrs (not cheap) as they will cut it very cleanly and quickly and stay sharp for years if used on ali.
Dont drop them or press too hard as they will break.

If your up for making new vanes (Tricky) you can take it out a bit bigger and blend the step right out on a lathe :wink:

If you need yours doing too then drop me a PM. I'll probably take mine off later and measure it all up so I can produce some definitive drawings  :wink:
