Nice job on the outside of the plenum...I just did a minor porting and polishing of the inside of both the upper and lower plenum sections. First after removing the lower, I started by reshaping the big fat intake tubes with a grinder. Then using a 3in course wire wheel, I worked on the mouths of those 6 tubes. I followed up with 200 grit sandpaper and wire wheel. Repeated on the upper plenum to also trying to remove the original sandcasting roughness. Used the wire wheel on the throttle area also. Clean everything and applied Graphene coating to the inside to reduce oil vapors from sticking to the interior plenum. Bottom line: A definite gain in power without adding a plenum spacer.

The inside of the plenum was cleaned during a valve cover replacement and then a catch can was installed. This keeps blowing by gases from Re-contaminating the inside of the plenum. Thanks so much for watching!

Rice guy read my comment on plenum port/polishing...My lower plenum had minimal oil residue also...I believe using 100% synthetic oil and not always visiting Redline at every shift, reduces the need for a catch can. I don't need one.

For the centre bolts being tightened, raising the plenum must raise the gap between the plenum and engine, thus when it is tightened back down, you risk breaking the plenum, as there is no support underneath it as there is the gap. Do they not supply spacers to negate this issue, as other manufacturers of this type of raiser do? Also as its raised the centre bolts risk air being sucked in as there is no direct contact between the plenum and engine anymore, would fitting o'rings on the bolts, prevent this issue? Thanks.
