Have any if you sanded out the exterior case imperfections on your motors? There are quite a few casting imperfections and rough spots on our engine cases. They bug me a bit. I'm thinking of sanding them out for a smooth finish. Maybe I'm anal about this stuff. I can't be the only one. Any thoughts about this?

Sorry Wolfe, no pics yet. The cases (1.8) are split and still filthy. I drilled and tapped a header plug that looked questionable, polished the upper area as I described so I'm not grinding /drilling on it after cleaning. I plan on carbs as I'm not real big on injection and this area will be seen clearly. I think it will look great with the silver Imron engine compartment and other details. I'll likely clear coat it after engine assembly and final polish. Engine tin, I'm thinking gray or a contrasting silver shade. The car is black and will have yellow trim - a wanna-bee (o.e. body was silver). Projects stalled for lack of cubic dollars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
