Polished Primary

Finished polishing the primary and clutch cover. Tedious work but satisfying and I saved some bucks doing it myself. Next up is the cam cover.

More polishing

Getting there. I'm going to get me a motor and buffing wheels shortly to speed things up.
Hand polishing is tedious and takes forever with sand paper!

Hand polishing is a pain!

Plugged up the holes used for grounding. Filed down most of the casting marks. I worked up the 400 grit wet sanding and decided to see what a little Mother's Polish would do for it. Doesn't look too bad. But I might continue sanding and work my way up to 1000 grit and call it ready for more polish. I still have the bottom tree to do!

Hand Polishing

My pushrod covers showed some road grime and exposure to the elements. This is what I started with. I used a little PB Blaster and aluminum foil then some Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish and 100% cotton tee shirts I had laying around.

The next pic are the hand polished tubes! Not bad if I do say so myself. They look almost brand new! This is kind of fun even though it takes a little work. The satisfaction you get from doing your own work is priceless! Next on the list are my triple trees.
