look what i did to my engine

I took some sand paper and starting polishing my engine. not that shiny but i think it looks a lot better. I ve only gone to 180 grit sandpaper so far, but will do more tomorrow. it is a good cheap alternative to chrome. My next plans are for the entire valve cover. thanks mayhemI30 for the ideapolished engine

looks pretty good, but take a better picture so we can really see the difference.
