this is the first thing on the engine i have polished along with the timing chain cover -such an amazing diff and only took 10 hours lol the rest of the engine will b done soon -this is just the thing i hit first so please dont say the rest of it is dirty thanks- let me kno wut ya thynk

 

Hey nice job with the polish it looks really clean. Keep up the good work!!

 

thanks the pics actually suck it looks chrome in person and u can see yaself in it but u get the idea

 

Good Job! If you haven't already, use a aluminum poilish on it.

How did you do the polish? What steps did you take?

 

did the long process of sanding it all down starting from 100 grit and went up to 200 then 300 then 600 then 1000 and then 1500-after that i polished it up with some aluminum polish and thats it -only took like 10hours total by hand no biggy lol

 

very very long process and thats only the timing chain cover and valve cover i still want to do my intake manifold to finish it off and then i am sending some shyt out to get chromed so it cleans it all up but yea if u have time go out and get the supplies and go at it -it kills ya back shoulders hands but is worth it 2 me

 

HEY!!! I will pay you do mine!!!

 

very pretty.

nice job

 

Looks tite. Do the manifold and ur set man. Or just get one of those MEvi Covers for it since it will be a lot harder to do.

 

now do your intake manifold... took me a lil over 2months to hand sand and polish my manifold ON the car, hehe.

i like the blue too!

Ant

 

yea i did mine too and about to post pix, btw nice jobs

 

thanks a lot guys and yes i did this all ON the car its a pian but i really didnt want to take the parts off and do it b/c i have work 6 days a week and i would hate to take em off and put em on everyday-also how do youll recommend to the manifolds- i started but it looks like it will take 4ever

 

anyone with tips on how to polish intake manifold?

 

o i got a circular wire brush thats like a drill bit you put on the drill. 1000x easier than hand

 

did you replace the gasket when you put the cover back on? i am wanting to do this as well but do not know hwo to go about doing it yet.

 

did u use wet snadpaper? or the dry stuff?

 

both wet and dry and no i didnt replace anything because i did this while it still being on the car

 

How did you know when to stop sanding?
By the way great job. It looks HOT

 

thanks so much everyone for the praise-cant wait till i hit the rest -another 30 hours or so and every single part will be chromed polished and clean - finally i hate looking at a dirty engine

 

you have alot of patience man.. it looks great! i can't imagine doing everything by hand though. do you have popeye forearms now?

 

That looks beautiful, will that shine last for a long time now??

If so, I'm definitely going to start on mine!

 

yea onetoughmax my arms now put popeye to shame lol
