If you were to strip the varnish / paint off and then leave it bare that is when the alloy oxidises and goes furry. Also, an Engineer will tell you it's not important what the outside of the engine looks like, it's how it's built and how it performs on the inside that is important ;D ;D ;D

I think we've got our lines crossed a little here, when i said i may not even paint the engine at all i meant clean up and leave as is with the factory paint on :)
Nurse Julie:
No crossed wires, I'm agreeing with you Phil ;D ;D. If it's got good paint on it why bother taking it off. Personally, it's all about bling with me, an engine has got to look blingy (must be a girl thing!!!!)

.... and the paintwork has to match your nail varnish (another girl thing!!)
