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)

My search came back with limited results. VZ935 A long time ago when I restored my 914 I used a company in Indianapolis IN that was doing engine & transmissions castings restoration for the 356 guys to clean and bring the finish like it came out of the casting mold. I just can't remember the process or name but check with the 356 guys for advice or suggestions. I was happy with the results and my engn & trans still look factory fresh. The only thing I remember it was some kind of dipping process to a fresh factory finish. Ask the 356 guys. Tom Attached image(s)
