I live in Madrid and here doesnt rain much (20 days to the year perhaps...).....I think that  salt on the roads is the problem, but here there is not that problem (at the north of Spain yes) or near of the coast zone, not problem about oxidation here, belive me.

I'm hoping that climate change will bring your weather up to us soon! 😎

I wish my Guzzi engine looked that good. Mine looks like its been dunked in the ocean and it only has around 9000 on it.

In 2007ish I just cleaned the engine with paraffin to degrease it and then got rid of the oxidation with my Dremel/Brillo pads/bits and bobs, no primer, then painted it using US Automotive VHT Aluminium paint, the head, barrels, etc that were separate were baked in the oven. It's lasted well but needs a bit of work now.

They always say you can polish a turd,
 but it's still a turd!

I did my 500 head and barrels and baked in the oven. But I managed to support them in the oven in such a way that the liners slid out of the barrels  :o
I had to turn them around and put them back in till they got hot enough and slid back in. DOH!
Paint came out okay though.
