M62 polishing?
 
Is it possible? Just curious...not even sure what the coating is on it.

the case itself?
I wouldnt, its coated with heat transfer paint, it allows the casting to breath really well...less heat...less KR...less KR..happier butt dyno! :lol:

I don't think I'd have the patience to do it anyway. I just like how the M90 is bare metal. I knew whatever was on the M62 had to be there for a reason. :)

Andrew, that's exactly what I wish mine looked like! It would go so well with the rest of my engine bay. :(

the M62 has the "paint" and it supposed to be a thermal transfer....I would NOT remove it

Allright, whats the method then? Wheel cleaner, polishing, or just one before it had a chance to corrode?

Comming to think of it....one of us is a corrosion expert..(Can't remember what I read) Any advice?

that was strictly wire brush

For a full polish you'll probably need to sand many times, then keep polishing like you would metal, dremel or some air tools may help..

On the M90, if you do polish it, it will corrode. It's only a matter of time.

As mentioned, the coating on the M62 is designed as a thermal transfer medium. Don't remove it, and don't re-paint it.

If you want to polish so badly..

Polish the inside! :twisted:

I'd rather do that!! All go AND show. I'd have to read up on how to do it. I'd like to take the SC off to do the coupler sometime anyway.
