Thanks

Why of course - - - get you some fine steel wool (remembering to keep the dust out of the carb) and shine her up, if nothing else but for ONE BRAGGING PIC to save for posterity or whatever. Your call of course !

Yeah, it is hard for me to leave aluminum alone........just looks soo nice all polished up.......I know sometimes with heat, polished helps and sometimes it hurts with heat transfer or reflectivity...or at least that is what I have heard or read some where.......might only relate to the combustion chamber...not sure.

I might just get the funny yellow spray stuff....zinc chromate or whatever the stuff is called.....once I start polishing it is hard to find a stop point and then I start replacing good parts I can not polish .......I am trying to avoid that on this build....probably not going to happen, but at least I have intentions or trying to curb my illness

Probably end up like the last engine in my avatar......I just can`t help myself

Thanks
