Marsdendean What things are you using to polish things.
Im going to get the mrs to get me some stuff so i can start polishing the main block of my engine, just unsure what i need
Well mate, i got a polishing kit, which included two braces. The first brace is used to grain the metal (it looks like it is made of stiff plastic threads) and the second (made of cloth) is used to do a finishing polish. The kit also inncluded two types of waxes. The first one is used with the first brace and the second with the polishing brace. I will take some photos tomorrow if you want.

polishing your engine block???you sure?lot of stripping to do that!most people just paint coz its cast iron,doesn't come up too well also gets very hot so it won't stay shiney for long(if you can get it shiney).

On the charger mate give it a good rub over with a green brillo pad (like you use to do the dishes?) if you have one first, as it'll get rid of a lot of the oxidisation on it and give it a good base for the polishing :thumbup1:

Very nice Dimis, you'll soon have the polishing bug

i made a shiney engine cover for mine(bandits template) as has been said its not nice with out the covers.when you fit the induction kit you loose the big air box which is a cover as well.so fitting a induction kit makes it sound better but make the engine bay look messy.

Just to clarify, I think you mean one of those green nylon scouring pads, right ? Not a metal brillo pad ?

Yep, very nice solution :thumbup1:
Actually that would be a pretty easy thing to get made Dean, you just need to make a cardboard template and get it to the exact right size/bolt-holes etc, and then take it to a metal fabricator to cut out of some nice shiny steel

You could also try carbon fiber instead of steel
