Pics and Feeler

Ok so here are some pics....




As you can see I polished the coil pack cover. You can see the difference between that and all the other unpolished aluminum. Id be willing to do this for people, PM me for info....

Yeah I need to clean it up. I am doing my research right now about engine bay cleaning techniques. Unfortunately I live near the ocean so oxidation occurs at a rapid rate. I polished the cover and then clear coated it.

that aluminum is VERY hard to polish to a shine, the point to where he got it was perdy good for what he is working with. That is why i just decided to paint mine and do accents with the polish sections

Look in my first picture. Do you see the difference between the coil pack cover and the valve cover? Those are not before/after pics. They are both after pics.
