Crazier than a box of frogs on acid
Evening all.
Finally some progress with the motor. Nothing really that exciting but its progress
Started cleaning the top end although ill admit its taking a lot longer than i thought
Anyways pictures
Just need to give it another coat after a go over with some 1600 wet and dry then take back the raised parts and polish back to bare ally.
Next job clean heads then send em off to get em checked.

Looks very nice mate! The cleaning does take soooo long, I think that was the worst bit of the entire rebuild!

Coming in your ears.
Anything really, enamel is best or use a basecoat with a quality 2pack lacquer.
I used aerosol basecoat and lacquer from Halfords for the rocker covers and it is fine but it has crazed on the sump because of the heat.
So yeah I short, something like japlac enamel is great or 2pack lacquer over a base coat unless you are lazy
