Re: installed polished intake manifold and phenolic spacers today (pictures inside)

I use a dual action sander like is found in body shops. I start with a die grinder though, and like 80 grit to bust everything down, and then slowly work through finer and finer grits until I get to about 800 grit. Then I start doing it by hand, otherwise everything looks hazy and swirl marks start to appear. If you've never done one, just give yourself plenty of time, and don't rush it. You can always go back steps if you need to, but just make sure you have plenty of sand-paper.

If you are interested, PM me, and I can go into more detail if you like.
