Biggrin Head question

Is it worth the time to polish the chambers in a set of heads? The only reason I could see to do it was to slightly reduce the chance of detenation by eliminating possible hot spots.

Why not?

I think what you just said is plenty reason to do it

Better to do it while the heads are off...(if they are)

Default Instead of pulling the heads.....

couldn't you just stuff steel wool down the carb while it is running at 2500 rpm?
