Hey guys, I am waiting on the surewinproducts on ebay to restock their header (unless anyone knows for certain another seller that bolts up without hassle and will accommodate both my o2 sensors) and while doing this I have been reading some stuff about headers in general and on this site. I see a lot of people talking about port and polish, I looked it up and got a general idea of what exactly it is, but I am confused as to how you actually go about doing this, do you have to have this done at a machine shop? Do they need the header, or the motor? Is it expensive, is it worth the money, etc, etc. Thank you for any information you can give me.

P&P normally you dont go any bigger then the gasket. intake gets left some what ruff so the air can "tumble" through to induce/help with mixture of the A/F. exhaust you can go to town on the polishing the faster it goes out the better.
