Well, grinding continues. I have a couple in process pics I'll post up later. Most of the flashing to be removed so far is in the first bends heading down to the bottom. Looks like they stick something square down 4 of the six openings to remove the intake from the mold. Lots of stuff to remove there. Also I removed a lot of metal on the sides leading into the holes. I did some work on the flutes on the bottom, but mine were actually in good shape. I don't know if I want to thin out that area too much due to the fact I am having a hard time getting into the center of the intake passage.

I removed all the rough stuff from the top of the runners and I will set to smoothing later tonight.
