But you want to blow out the cylinders and make sure that debris is OUT of the cylinder (helps to shove rags in the ones that you can).

That kit comes in handy for a LOT of stuff!!

Just don't focus on one area, buzz the surface constantly. DO NOT use sand paper (or at least I would not).
Thanks jason, i'll make sure and get that kit tomorrow, difinitely didnt want to use sandpaper lol

Looking good!

If the UIM won't polish the way you want it, it would look pretty nice painted white

damn now that i thought about it, i might just go ahead and paint it it's going to be PITA to polish and very time consuming, but then again polished would look much better

i decided not to polish it 2 hours of sanding and it's barely smoothing the surface on it, and i still hadnt got to the hard to reach areas

going to paint it a metallic silver then clear coat it i dont think an engine cover is going on this one :p

didnt get anything done today, had to cut the grass lol and then this rain doesnt help any, its supposed to rain all week. luckily i have my motor in the living room
