Hey Guys, So I was looking into properly polishing up my whole Plenum Intake.
I've already got the cover polished up and now I want to do the Plenum itself.
The question I have is does the the condition of the Plenum matter?
I was going to properly sand and polish the inside and outside of the Plenum.
Since I'd spend a lot of time on getting it perfect my car would be undrivable
for a while so I went to the wreckers and picked up a whole Plenum off another car.
Does it matter what condition the plenum is in, would it matter whether I polished up
my original Plenum that's done 100,000kms or the one from the wreckers that's done
200,000kms. Since I would be polishing the inside and outside,
it would be the same piece of metal right? Basically like new?
So all up my question is, Do I temporarily put on the Plenum from the wreckers on
my Commodore and polish up the original one, or do I simply polish up the one from the wreckers
and change them once over I'm done. Since replacing the plenum is a fair bit of work
that requires depressurizing the fuel lines, I think I would get a mechanic to change
them for me. Your help much appreciated, Cheers
