BEFORE... The Magna Project is progressing with the engine mechanical checks complete. Next step is to light the fire and bring this V4 back to life. But, in this case, I took a pause in the action to have the valve covers polished. The reasoning here is that there's so much time and effort involved in removing the covers again at a later date that we decided now was the time.
Trouble is, the covers were in such bad condition that my efforts were just not up to the task. Time to bring in the pros. My powder coat shop steered me to a local manufacturer of truck wheel covers, Real Wheels (.com) who had the equipment and expertise to buff through the corrosion and prep these parts properly for a final application of clear powder coat to keep that new-bike luster for years to come. Professionals don't come cheap and the bill for refurbishing these parts was about $180. But what a difference.......
