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?

For me the" smile on my face " comes from doing the best job I possably can ,and that includes astethics and attention to detail in a somewhat hi degree. For me looking into an engine compartment and seeing decades of filth ,the wiring attempts of the last five owners, and the glue remains of an insulator pad on the firewall is unthinkable, no matter how well it runs
I personally am not intrested in concours. Predictable cars and ltd. option packages. I'm drawn to the customs. If a person wants to have a subaru engine or a Porsche hood crest, or polished cases, do what pleases you! All IMHO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
