I put my carb and intake in my parts washer for a couple days. promblem is I think the metal in the carb and intake had a reaction with my cleaner ( I use a bio grade degreaser). It seems like it almost ate away some of the material that the carb and intake are made out of ( cast ? ). So I have had to polish the inside of both the carb and intake. Will this cause any promblems? thoughts?

DO NOT "POLISH"(only radius turns) THE INTAKE OF A CARBURETOR ENGINE, but you can mirror finish the exhaust port track ...

On a fuel injection engine you do both ...
