Default polishing ITR Intake manifold Qs

Hi everyone,

i took out the throttle body last night and found that it was all dirty with dried oil, so took the change to clean it.
the intake had also some oil, so after some minutes it was all cleaned up.
looking closely at the inside i could see that the manifold had a lot of imperfections that could "easily" be taken out with a dremel tool and sand paper. my question is, is this worth the trouble without porting/polish the whole head? or not worthy of the trouble at all?
one last question, how difficult is it to disassemble all the manifold?

no its not, I extrude honed my TYPE R manifold and only got 2 hp way up top.

Honda did a pretty good job with the cast, no need to waste time with the dremel Ive been there done that. No gains there

now what you really wanna do is play with the length of the runners. then you can tune your car for where you want the hp!
