I'm getting ready to change my timing belt and water pump.I am also ordering up all of the seals and gaskets for the head. I figured since I will have all of my **** off, I might as well match port the intake manifold and I was considering a light sanding on the intake and exhaust ports, just enough to add a little smoothness. I am no machinist, so I don't plan on getting crazy with it. NOw here are my questions:

1) Is mild sanding on the ports beneficial at all?
2) How much do I sand down?
3) What is expected of doing both the sanding and the match porting(hp, tq, throttle response)?
4) Is there a place where I can order the butterfly for the throttle body if I take it to a local machine shop and have them bore it out slightly?

Thanks guys...I'm still figuring out how to do all of this and I want to make sure I do it right.

Some is better than none - remeowing casting imperfections is good - just don't go crazy. Using a Dremeowel is the easiest way.
