frocashmoney24 Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 (edited) well, i got a practically free pair of stock reed cages sent to me, and decided to polish them and see what diffrence they were over stock which is what i have in there now, took out the dremel and a hour later i was done, anouther hour i had them installed and went for a ride, and damn, i didnt think it would be noticable, but it is, i think it grabs a little more on bottom -top, and the powerband flows better, i think everybody who had a dremel had to do this, took me 2 hours for everything, and the extensions i needed for the dremel was like 8 bucks total. polished inside compared to stock stock outside compaired to polished polished side compaired to stock ...now go out and do it! p.s. my jettin changed and i need to go change it so it runs better again, which means the polishing prolly is doing more then what i felt!

Justintoxicated Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 I thought you didn't want to polish the inside of the cages too shiny??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frocashmoney24 Posted May 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 i heard u do, and its not really that shiney, i lightned the pics, but you want it as smooth as possible so it flows better, the stock gold is rough like sand paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 I've generally heard that you don't want the exhaust side that shiny polished finish. I'm not much of a motor builder so my opinion is squat. Glad to hear they worked out for you fro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb67rs1 Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 i heard u do, and its not really that shiney, i lightned the pics, but you want it as smooth as possible so it flows better, the stock gold is rough like sand paper you DONT want them smooth, the fuel will more less stick to the side and flow down. you want it to kindof bounce around. if should be sorta ruff.

jeepman380 Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 (edited) You're not supposed to polish anything involving the intake cause the rough surfaces help atomize the fuel mixture and mix it up better. The exhaust ports can be polished on the other hand cause it helps keep them clean and flows a bit better. What you should of done instead of polishing the cages was port them out a bit or did you do that also? I really couldn't tell from the pic.
