With the old rubbers Ken, still waiting on my DS order due to a few backorder but my Cruizinimage pistons are on their way.

My plan is to prep the engine ready for paint this weekend except for the barrels as they'll be going off to Bryan for some work. There's not much paint left on them, just a bit of black remnants from a previously bad paint job so a bit of nitromors and a bit of scotchbriting should sort it. I was going to use carb cleaner as a final pre paint prep then Simoniz vht aluminium silver paint followed my a 'Millyard bake'
DomP:
I have a question, has anyone on here any experience with straightening bent fins? I've got a few which are out of sight and minor enough that they can be ignored but two on the cylinder head are top left and obvious. I've watched a few videos of warming with MAPP gas and carefully tweaking back, do I dare risk it before painting or just accept them as battle scars?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Think of it as age related patina.👍
