(polishing manifold)Can I grind this off?
Ok, I'm about to polish my upper manifold and I wanted to get rid of the "mazda 13b" and those little lines on the s-5 manifolds. So my question is, can I grind these off of the manifold without doing any harm?
And does anyone have a pic of a s-5 polished mainfold?

I don't own a FC but if it is anything like the FD manifold the inside is just round. It would be fine to grind those spots off. I've done several Fd manifolds.
I wish I was driving!

I bolted on some block off plates I quickly fabbed over the gasket areas and shoved it into a polisher, then took it out and went at 'er with a wheel for an hour or so. Only works if you have access to an industrial size polisher though....
