OK, i think i am going to polish the plenum on the current engine once it comes out.

how easy is this to do and does anyone know how to do it properly?

Got mine done by kent metal finishers, which was brighter than chrome when done and cost around 200 bucks, oh and every nook and cranny was done too ;)

Looks good mate

Lol! It's my plenum! It IS possible to get a decent finish but make no mistake, it's an ABSOLUTE ballache to do, you'll end up with flayed hands and will take a hellishly long time!

 

(FunkySi, sorry mate, just realised I never answered your post on this topic...things have been a bit up in the air over here recently and only just getting back on track!).

 

If someone wanted one done I'd "possibly" consider doing it (saying possibly as I've kinda grown attached to the skin on my hands again! ;) :D) if they could supply one but TBH I'd have to charge about £200 purely for the time and effort involved.

whats involved in taking the plenum off does it need skimming before re-fitting and new gaskets? is it really just worth doing if your having an engine rebuild?

sorry for the thick quessies :D

Been thinking about it this morning and I could probably do the polishing for less than £200 if someones genuinely interested :)
