Default polishing stock heads????worth it?

Whats up guys. Im going to be installing the MS3 cam along with a LS6 intake. Would it net me anything just to clean up the ports? Maybe a little polishing? Also, if it would does anyone have any writeup or anything i can look at.

thanks

It woulnd't be a good idea to do any work to the heads when they're on the block so if your willing to take them off I'd say go for it. If you take them off, u should get all the coolant out with a wet vac before u pull the head.

I'm with him. You won't see much of a gain if any by just "cleaning" the inside of them.

Wow, some real blind leading the blind stuff going on in this post. In short, do not proceed to pull the heads if you dont know what you are doing. There is no way you have enough knowledge to do any good. For that matter, you will probably just do harm.
