They are suppose to have the coating but don't worry about it. I asked one of the intake engineers at Ford and he said that the caoting is suppose to prevent the build-up that causes the throttle to stick closed. Do you guys realize that these same screws you are talking about smoothing are in the secondary runner butterflys as well. Think about it, since the runners are smaller than the t'body and the screws are the same, they are blocking a larger percentage of the total area. So theoretically there would be even more advantage to cleaning up the secondary butterflys.

I'm guess there is a special tool, bit to make countersinks in the plate? Interesting thought on the secondary butterflies, that would probably be a lot of work but probably well worth it, what are they like 33mm or something so yeah that is a way higher percentage.

Finally got around to taking the TB off my Mondeo yesterday.... I've got the bar running across BOTH sides of the butterfly (and it's really thick) and I've also got the Teflon coating on the engine side of the butterfly. The coating looks to be next to useless, my car has done less tha 4000km and the coating was already chipped away at the edges of the butterfly and had a coating of oil gunge on it already too.
Measured the diameter of the butterfly to be 54mm- is that what you guys with the standard Duratecs have got? How much bigger is the SVT version?

Where did you get the screws for that? Home Depot or similar: They are a metric thread, flat head, phillips machine screw. I think they are 4mm, but I would take one of your originals with to match up with. The length will probably be too long, but you'll be filing that off smooth with the shaft anyway.
