How to Polish Engine Cover - CD90 Engine cover restoration

[johnjacob]

That came out really nice. There is something so satisfying about making a dull piece of metal shine like a mirror.

Also I tried several different ways to bring my covers to mirror finish
Yours was the best by far
Thankyou

I just want to say you did an amazing job and have inspired me to take up restoring my Shadow Spirit vt1100. It has ALOT of rust and corrosion. Thank you for giving me the confidence to take on this task

Wow what a awesome job you have done. You should be very proud of your hard work. I know there's no cheating way of polishing those parts. Well done sir.

Love this. I bought a new Suzuki GS750 in black, back in 1979, one of the first things I did was remove the two main engine covers and polish them up on a bench grinder buffing wheel. They looked fantastic, wish I still owned that bike. Memories 😁.

Good job. Just a tip or two....1) When wet sanding, use a drop of dish soap on the sandpaper. It keeps the paper cleaner and helps the abrasive action. 2) Start w/ P400 grit like you did, then follow up w/P600, then w/P800 and maybe P1000. This will help cut down on the polishing process times. If that part is cast aluminum (some are), keep wax on it, or clear coat it, or it will oxidize and turn gray again. Not criticizing...just something to think about.

Beautiful work!
Why buy new when you can take something old and fix it? You learn something, it consumes time, and gives pride in your work.

What a spectacular difference you made, terrific work there!

Whilst you have the cover off the engine, it would be a good opportunity to replace the original kickstart shaft oil seal, and as the engine is completely stripped, to replace the gear change shaft oil seal too.

To complete the job, the output shaft oil seal should also be replaced, that way, after rebuilding, you should have an oil tight engine!

Thank you for sharing this video.

That engine cover looks brighter than my future 🙄

If you need to make another video, I have a set of fork legs from an old Harley that are begging to be polished. 🤣
Great video!

Красивая крышка получилась! Надо было ссылку на пасту полировальную оставить. Но результат блестящий! Даже буковки нарисовал 😁
