Not worth the time or trouble and you will probably hurt the engines performance on the intake side ..

If you are going to pull off the stock heads, you will get better results by having a real good performance valce job. This will get you more performance than just polishing. Your best bet would be to wait and have the heads completely worked by a sponsor such as TSP.
