why do they polish the carb?

#3

In theory it reduces turbulence and increases flow. In reality it’s probably akin to a paint protection program or extended warranty that a car dealership may sell to you, i.e. it makes them more money :laughing:. That said, I am currently using a polished carb. Some race teams I know use the polished one, while others use the standard one.

Anyone interested in a KZ should jump on this motor. Great price, and Andy has detailed his maintenance process in various posts, so there should be no mistaking that the buyer is getting a great piece here.

Timing is everything. I would have already purchased it if the timing aligned with the :moneybag::money_mouth_face:

They polish to make it look better making you think its faster I doubt you would see any difference on a stop watch my opinion only

It’s debatable, I agree. I mentioned it because the top factory prep R1 engines from TM come with the polished version, which is also more expensive (I believe around $350 vs $250, from IM)

To some it’s worth it, to others it’s not as there are few opposite theories out there as to what the polishing does before the valve.
