Another stupid polishing thread. Engine fins this time.

I just stripped and re-painted my block and head (off the bike). Used aircraft stripper and 600 grit sandpaper. The prep for that was hard enough, I can't imagine trying to shine up the whole block with the engine in one piece and on the bike!

Your block had clear on it? I know the head cover is cleared, but didn't realize the finned parts were.

I don't know what was on the block.....some kind of paint. Here's a pic of at least part of the job...........what a pain.

Geez... I hope that was from a PO. I scrubbed mine clean with Purple Power and then scrubbed it again with MEK. I didn't see any flaking or corrosion.... I hope it's bare. I just primed it yesterday!
