Brute:
Sitting here watching Curling reading KXRiders instead of working on the bike. Glad to hear someone say what I was thinking about the polishing. Looks great though!

Quit making your fingers dirty and sore. :-D
Put the head on and apply your talents to something beneficial. There are no gains to be had from a mirror finish, in fact it may be counterproductive, especially in the squish area.
Polish rant over,

Thanks Larry,
This one looked so nice the way it was I wasn't going to.
I have read many articles on the subject of whether or not to polish.
The consensus seems to be evenly split.
I figured since I had to build two engines that I would do it on one and not the other and see what happens.
In the end I decided to do this one because Motorrad made me do it :evil:
Foxx4Beaver:
I've looked into polishing in the past too,and really did'nt find enough evidence to motivate me to give it a shot...it basicaly came down to a battle of opinions.
Sandblaster,if you happen to notice a substantial gain,I'll give it a try....
til then,I'm still hoping to bring home that one sweat-hogg from the bar one of these nights that can put a polishin on "MY" piston crown like that!! :-D
Motorrad:
Hoooray its done.
