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) |

Gibbs spray lube the case after it's clean. This stuff soaks in and give a beautiful finish and brings out the marbling in the magnesium.
