Title: finished polishing the Engine
Post by: nzsimon on April 06, 2007, 12:10:13 AM
Finally finished polishing the motor for the 32 I don't want to do it again that's for sure The dremel is pretty much on it's last legs so I finished it with an air die grinder which was way easier

The black dust went everywhere and the garage is a mess my wife was less than impressed with the mess and the noise but that's our job as men to drive them crazy

The sump is missing because I am still in the process of painting it , Toyota paint it with some yukky crinkle paint but it wipes right off with thinners so it's all good
Gearbox is painted and the bellhouseing is polished to match

Nice! Better use some Zoops Seal on it so you can prevent oxidizing. I would hate to think about repolishing it in five years.

Drag it is a 4litre toyota alloy V8 out of a Lexus

Rum I polished the cam covers 4 years ago they are still fine the alloy Toyoyta use is very good and I think they injection mould it so it is very dense

Enj not yet but I am close I actually find polishing quite relaxing as your mind goes somewhere else

$0 cheers not patient just too tight to pay someone else to do what amounts to basic labour

As always, very impressive.  I'm thinking you must be close to done.
