Thats so true. The casting of the inlet manifold is not as clean as those of the rocker, injector and throttle body covers. I found little holes in the bananas as well and thought best to just grin and leave them as I suspect that they could turn into great open cut mines if you tried to polish them out.

given i'm too lazy to mask and spray, i was thinking about using a brush on paint. is there any high temp paints that brush on?
i guess i could mask badly and sand the bits i don't want painted, but as i think i mentioned a few times. i'm pretty lazy.
also i don't want to spray the engine that's 1 ft from my car.

Spray some in the lid or a bowl and there you have it.

New polishing project

A guy in our club (COCC) asked if I wanted to polish his bell housing off his 308 and I said.....yes (sh*t why did I say that ????). Anyway after around 8 hrs or so.....

I need to get a better setup as Coopers Sparkling and huge amounts of elbow grease are wearing out my hands and elbows big time !
