    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

there is a stain on my secondary drive cover. i'm not quite sure if it is a stain or if something spilled on it and ate away the outer layer. (looks like drips from the top down). is there a way to remove the stain or restore the outer layer? any suggestions would be welcome.

thx
 
metal polish and lots of elbow grease. Most any kind of polish will work, I hear mothers is good stuff, but you really have to rub the %$# out of it, and when you have no fingerprints left, your about half way there. In the end, all my stains came out, and my fingerprints grew back.
 
It is the clear-coat that is stained. Use a paint stripper (make sure its safe for aluminum). I did this to my cases and it took the clear coat right off and left the aluminum shiny. I wet sanded the cases (to polish off the corrosion where the clear-coat had failed) with 1000# emory paper and polished with Mother's. The cases looked very good. Initially, I did not remove the cases from the engine. I later had the iginition cover off and used a buffing wheel with a tripoli compound. I can't see much difference.

Just use the paint remover carefully and don't splatter it on any painted surface you don't want the paint removed from.
