Default 1 hour and a Dremel tool

I just wanted to show what a little effort and a dremel tool can do to a set of stg 2 Patriot heads. I know it is not a mirror finish, but it only cost me one hour and $26.00 for the buffing pads and $8.00 for two stones

The second pic is a stg 1 head, but that is how the chambers looked before I started!

The other two pics are of the stg 2 heads done after I cleaned them up!

Looks good, every little bit counts I guess. The Dremel tool can work wonders of all sorts.

Yeah a dremel works, but a die-grinder is much faster. You can get a die-grinder from Harbor Freight for aroud $12. The expensive part is the compressor to supply it with air!

BTW, you don't need a mirror finish on them, especially on the intake side.

Yes, I thought about that, but I just wanted to clean them up a little. I have ordered a dynafile and I am going to play with my old heads and see what I can do with them. I used a dynafile on a set of Edelbrock RPM heads for a small block one time, and boy, did it do a good job.

Yea, don't mirror finish anything on the intake side. It needs to have some texture to help atamize the fuel mixture.
