same here. If you are paranoid though change your oil and filter it as well as open up your oil filter.

yep

what kind of camara are you using?

 

one thing I will say is that there seems to be some scoring on your
vtec lobes, what cam/valvespring combination are you running?

 

my Type-R head has WAY more crazy marks like that than yours does.

what he said

 

supertech valves and springs.....and crower stage 2...i do beat on it tho lol. the camera is canon s400

 

Your exhaust cam is toast. Change it out and any rockers affected before you drop your valve and then be really hurting.

Merry X-Mas.

 

wth i thought rocket is retired from HT

 

Hes back with a vengeance.

 

lol

 

could there be any benefit to cleaning up the casting? Maybe for better oiling...?

I wouldn't touch it unless you know what you're doing. I know, weak answer, but you may end up causing more trouble than you need for extremely little benefit.

I was thinking one time that if you polished everything up to a mirror finish oil wouldnt stick around and it would fall back to the oil pan quicker. I dunno, just a thought.

 

yup, any place that the oil might hang up can be removed. I must say this though DON'T DO IT IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

 

Negligible benefits.

Plus there are spots that are impossible to 'fix'.
