I got back to working on this engine again. I spent four hours today and got two parts polished. The engine mount, and one cylinder head. Four more heads to go... I like the result so far. After the heads are all polished, each one will have to be individually torn down so that the polishing detritus can be cleaned out. As you can see, this is a time consuming process! The head is attached to a stick, so that it can be polished and not flung away by the buffing wheel. Also helps with the burned fingers! First one side is buffed. Then the head is removed, turned around, and the other side buffed. This is "Mr Big Boss Buff" and he's a real bear! Standing at this for 3-4 hours at a time is enough, thank you! This is the engine mount. I did not attempt to polish the inside. It looks good with just the outside polished. Cylinder head flipped around and buffed out on the opposite side. It's finished here. Some side by side pictures of a polished versus non-polished head. Sitting on the cylinder: That's all for now!
