bigboybanshee Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 To do it right, you'll need some tools....bench grinder, die grinder, roloc pads (3M preferred), sandpaper, various sized buffing wheels, and a couple different compounds. If you don't have these tools, it's worth it to send it to cascade and let them polish it for a couple hundred bucks, since you'll spend that to buy the tools needed to get the job done. But, you'll polish the cylinders just as you would any aluminum surface, the end result will be as good as the prep work put into the job.

dajogejr Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Believe it or not...K&N Air filter cleaner works AWESOME to remove the dirt as well. If I get a little dirt on my carbs, it's hard to get in the little crevices, etc. I spray on the K&N Cleaner, let it sit for 5 minutes, no scrubbing...hose it off. I was absolutely amazed....

Bill Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I polished my stockers and it was A bitch, the hardest part was sanding all the rough casting down smooth. Polishing it is the easy part. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
