so I'm in the middle of a top end rebuild and cleaning things up ready for reassembly. I was planning on scuff polishing (satin not mirror) the side covers so it doesnt look too shiny, just aged and clean. My question is what to do with the cases, barrel, head & cover?
I had assumed once clean I needed to paint them (HT) but then got to thinking, can they be left bare and just cleaned up? I'm not massively into how the paint can make the engine look a bit artificial for a while if you know what I mean. I like a bit of character but I want it clean and tidy.
Any advice / thoughts? Cheers
ps. What rotary tool (like a dremel) attachments are good for cleaning up / light polishing between the fins?
