    Cylinder base Gasket - oil before installation?

    Considering how hard it was to get the last one off and reading on there that folks sometimes oil their head gaskets to facilitate easier removal, what about oiling the base gasket? Part 2 if oiling base or head, does soaking them overnight a good idea? Is more better?

    FWIW, Oven cleaner makes a BAD cylinder cleaner. Reading the product label would have helped.

    polishing aluminum - is there a OEM clear coat?

    thanks RE: clearcoat - the Q is...is the OEM clear coated or is it plain alum? I ask since the outside carb bowls were clearcoated and it seems that the engine is coated as well.

    I was drooling over some of the high gloss aluminum pics on here ans since I have my stator cover off I was thinking of polishing it. Do the OEM alum have a clear coat? am I asking for more future maintenance if I shiny polish?
