Unsure if this is the correct spot to post but I have been spending some time cleaning up the motor and other parts, at least what I can until I pull it for a rebuild to get everything else cleaned up. Not trying to bling out everything under the hood but figured getting the valve covers to an almost mirror finish would look good and keep me busy until parts show up.
I started with an 80 grit block to get rid of any imperfections and pitting. Then took it to 120 grit dry, 220 wet and from 400-1500 wet all by hand. Should have went to 2000 but they look decent. After everything was sanded, I bought some compounds from Ace and got right to buffing/polishing.
No where near show quality but pretty darn close to mirror finish!
