I have decided to split the case on my original 914-6 engine and would like some advice on how to get a proper finish on the case. I want it to look like it did when it left the factory.
Is there something I can use or a process I can follow that will bring the engine case to an original finish ? Or do I just send everything to Ollie's and let them do their thing? Any information would be appreciated . Attached thumbnail(s)

Your case is magnesium.
Halibrand and (real) Minilite wheels were magnesium and were treated with a preservative wash. I cannot remember the name right now but it was a Dow product. I'll bet the product Glenn suggested is the German version. Do not blast with anything other than solvents or hot water. Ask the Porsche concours restoration experts on Pelican, someone there should know. |
