I was cleaning under my hood the other day and it came out really nice, but the manifold and the valve cover are gross and dull looking. Has anybody poilshed these parts? any pics?

1. Do you sand them down? mothers polish?

thanks

 

yes, it has been done. check stickies, and delete one of your threads before you get people talking in both. you posted twice!

 

thanks man..yea i gotta check that out
have you done it to yours?

 

I have not, but in the stickies there is a step by step process that tells you how to get either just a clean look, or how to actually polish it to a mirror-like finish. I would like to pick up an extra valve cover and possibly a timing chain cover so that i wouldn't have any down time on the car. It may take a while. requires wet sanding and polishing and buffing. Many people have done it to theirs; i'm sure they will chime in here soon or later this evening.

 

yea i would love to get an extra valve cover to, just so i dotn have the leave the max sitting, and my without a car. I would like to see some pics if anybody has any. Do you know where in the Stickies the writeup is?

 

hmmm, i thought it was in the stickies somewhere, but I might wrong. anyway, here is a post by ny96max of what i was talking about:

pretty straight forward, however, it can be a tedious process depending on the finish you want. I hope to start on mine soon too. good luck!
