Default Re: Extreme Makeover: Engine Edition

i love all that you fellas have done.
not wanting to rain on anyones parade but polishing the engine parts may look amazing it actually increases the temp of the part polished. the rough surfaces allow the air to cross the surface and absorb heat while the polished smooth parts dont. look at any harley forum regarding polishing the cases and the heat build up after . the same principle applies to powdercoating dark colors on metal engine parts. SORRY!
