  1. I bought a 2nd hand one when i done mine lol ,but if you wanna smooth it then yeah you will have to remove it. i used drill sanding flap wheels .lots of sanding strips and wet n dry, wire brush drill bits to clean it down first . and TIME and once smooth some metal polish like autosol lol good luck with it mate , look forward to see how you get on . 8) I ended up giving mine away cause i bought an engine already done up nicely , the guy didnt smooth it as far as im awere but painted it in some water based paint i think he said giving it a very smooth finish like this
  2. never happened to me but my friend has had that twice same situation roundabout , wet ect... I said the same prob diesel or drain cover cover
  3. To get rid of the pitted marks is very hard work mate by hand , i started one a while back got about 80 % done then gave up lol prepare for fingers cramping and crap everywhere as its a dirty job too. Just a good clean can make them look nice or a lick of paint mine has been done black. a wire brush drill attachment can bring them up looking really nice and its quicker too. also see if this works for the rest :) viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28025
  4. Im sold no harm in tryin it out , mine isnt that dirty but can always be cleaner i suppose :)

  16. Found out what it is now and its not good news , after being RR tuned at stealth my rado has been running very very lean , i cant prove its there fault but they are the only people ever to touch the engine settings :censored: which has caused my little end in pot 3 to give up the game :(
