Ported 906s

These were built 30 years ago. I knew they were ported and polished. But I didn’t know the ports were coated in a black or dark blue epoxy type coating? The intake is totally coated inside. Must be some kind of an old racers trick? Kim

My friend used to do that to make the porting smoother. Forgot what he used.

Thanks Hoppy. It hard as hell. Kim

The color isn’t really showing up for me, but I’ve seen it where the dye in race gas will stain an intake manifold.

Try a little carb cleaner and scotchbrite on it, see if it comes off.

If there’s epoxy in there, maybe the fuel dye stained the epoxy.

Or try paint stripper.
