That is a serious investment! They look lovely--nice pearly finish. Mirror finishes have no place on an engine in my book. Great work.

Well done, That is a lot of work! I've been lucky, my ocd mate Big Al, who actually loves polishing did mine for me, have you done the ports as well?

Very impressive.

That would be a lot harder work on an AVL/Electra-X top end or even an EFI Bullet, as the factory had fallen in love with powder coating (it's even worse with the new models).

My Electra-X top end on A Proj Too Far has been chemically stripped and vapo(u)r blasted, I might get as far as polishing the EDGES of the fins!

Nearly ready for reassembly. I ran out of time as moving house so they are far from perfect
