Is that all you need to polish? Sand paper and lots of time?
Depends how you do it, but basically. I am using a drill/dremel and its really not that bad, when i get to the small areas that need hand sanding im sure it will suck. But 80-2000 grit sand paper some polish and some time is all it takes... i have about 2-3 hours into mine...over half of it is sanded down past the pitting from casting already...im thinking 10 hours with power tools total but we will see
Damn, that is a lot of time, but it looks amazing after its done. My IM looks like shit, its really ditry, actually most of my engine bay looks pretty shitty :( but at least the car drives well :)
Haha yea that's hoe mine was it was really dirty. Im gonna clean it a bit while the engine is out but I really don't care that much. I don't do many cosmetic mods but danny painted my valve cover and I didn't want the ugly manifold ruining my bay haha

Do you know anyone that got their gears cryogenically treated? I'm interested to find out how they are holding up.

I'm the only person that i know that has actually done it. I hear about it all over the forums and then no one actually did it yet. Its pretty cheap if it works it would be awesome!
