Has anyone polished their own aluminum heads?
Have had terrible luck with coating heads and intakes with clearcoat and powdercoat will not hold up to the heat of heads according to the powdercoaters that I have talked to. Clear starts to lose adhesion around 250-350 degrees and accelerates flaking of it. So I decided that I am going to polish the heads, intake and maybe even the accessory drive brackets. Has anyone done this themself before? I know that shops do it all the time and I suspect that the right tools would make it a thousand times easier. Any tips? Also would sealers hold up to this kind of heat after I get done polishing them so they do not oxidize right up again?
