Just got a dremel tool and wanted to know if anyone has polished their LT1 intake with one and also what bit's they used. If you have any pics please post.

 

i'd like to know as well...

TTT

 

i just got a very powerful dremel for xmas, and i am wondering the same

 

ditto

 

make that 5 id like todo the same i alredy had a dremel but i got a 40 bit set for it for christmas

 

I assume your talking about the ribs on top the intake. Start with 320 sand paper, then 600, then 1200. I've got a 8in buffing wheel on a bench grinder, but you can use a small polishing wheel from your dremel kit with compound. I did my intake, h2o pump, fuel rails, and alt. Use sandpaper rolls to get into the hard to reach spots. It's a ton of work with the small dremel's. a diegrinder, both straight and 90 degree, sanding rolls and 3M pads makes short work of anything made from aliminum. I've got maybe five hours in polishing everything under the hood, I even did ther ac lines.

 

How did it hold up after you polished it ?

Did you seal it with anything ?

Pics of engine bay ?

 

Oh God don't get Steve started I've seen the engine bay INCREDIBLE, I mean INCREDIBLE and with the right tools it doesn't take to long, but with a dremel it would take forever!!! It took me awhile just to clean up and smooth out LS1 brake calipers with a dremel.

Lucky Steve is a bud and I can take my pieces over to his house Hey Steve think we can polish my S-trim and hard intake elbow??

 

Bring a six pack and it's done.

 

heh, i started to polish my intake with a dremel tool, it was taking forever, but i all the numbers smoothed out with it atleast. then i got my friend to glass blast it. it looks clean. (although it isnt an lt1) :\

dremel tool takes to damn long!

 

When you mean "intake" what would you be referring to???
