Engine took about 1 hour and 15 minutes. After removing grime and grease with APC and electric pressure washer, I had to remove 20 years worth of baked on cosmoline prior to polishing aluminum engine parts with Mother Aluminum polish and Flitz. Engine dressed with Auto Magics Dress-It and touched-up with Stoners trim Shine.



Cosmoline was removed with various grades of steel wool, varies brushes, APC and a lot of elbow grease and patience.

What a great job! Heh heh, those wheels are a pain huh, what with all the slots.



Were the pinstripes the OE painted ones or aftermarket tape?



The short amount of time you required is just *so* impressive!
