I was just wondering. My end and center have some minor scratches in them, is it possible to have them plained or resurfaced?

 

yes for lots of money

get them ceramic coated =D

 

so I can have them plained at like a machine shot like what they doto heads?

 

I'm talkin' bout the end and intermidiate housings

 

You're talking about the irons?

How bad are these scratches? The irons are very tolerant of scratches and imperfections, and there are proceedures in the Factory and Haynes manuals to make sure they are withing spec.

If they are out of spec, they can generally be lapped. You should send them to a rotary shop to be done, unless you can make a machine shop understand EXACTLY what they need to do. And you want to ONLY remove enough material to bring them into spec.

 

they aren't that bad, I'm just wondering if they can be perfect. Thanks!!!

 

i'm running factory compression numbers and mine had a couple little scratches... it's rotor housings that make the real difference

like aaroncake said spec them out. i just used a really nice straight edge and a set of feeler guages on mine and did it per a haynes manual.
