what is the talk that the exhaust ports and runners are shiny smooth to prevent carbon buildup, and the intake rogh to help atomise fuel, is this B.S, or is this the way to do it?


intake side.
roughness (smooth sandcast finish) promotes a stationary boundary layer of air,, this decreases the effective port side, but kinda reduces friction, since the stationary air has less friction on air than the port walls (like on thorpies swim suit, or americas cup yachts)..... and this boundary layer helps stop fuel dropping out...

exhaust, shiny=less build up and less friction? doesn't seem to matre that much, but it makes wallets lighter
