Home porting question

[Agent_4573]

Hey, I just got an explorer upper/lower intake and was thinking about porting/polishing it a little at home before i put it on. I've heard people talk about gasket matching on here too. What all is involved in gasket matching? is it basically just taking away the intake until the opening is the same size as the gasket? How hard is it to screw up? My dad has been a mechanic for most of his life, but he has to work over thanksgiving break so I'm probably gonna be doing this mostly on my own. I was thinking about just opening up the upper a little and doing a full polish job on the lower intake. I hope you guys can help me out cuz i wanna try to sqeeze every hp from this thing...


P.S. Should i polish the egr spacer and throttle body while I have em off the car?
