Well it's just painted now, instead of bare metal... A lot of people polish them, but I'm not sure if they were originally painted, or just cleared over the aluminium.. I think most of it was painted except the oil rotor cover and the stator cover? Those are going to be polished, but they aren't yet...
I kind of ruined the heads on the screws trying to take them off... :roll:

Common problem. If you don't have one already get an impact screwdriver fro Harbor Freight. Many people just replace the pan head screws with Allen bolts.

I absolutely hate finding phillips head screws on a motorcycle! :evil: Fortunately, I don't have any of those screws on my Zong.

Ok, here's the engine painted up, waiting for the stator and oil rotor cover to be polished...
![]() The counter sprocket cover and starter are also painted. Still waiting for stuff in the mail... Wish it would show up soon.

That's a nice satin look.
BTW, a little anti-seize on the threads of the screw will allow it to back out nicely when the time comes.

Beautiful.
Years ago I painted the engine from my GS1100 whaen I had it out for a rebuild. The paint held up well. I don't remember what I used but it was an engine paint made to take high temps.

Thanks guys
![]() I used "Cast Aluminium" High Heat engine enamel... I forget what brand it was, just out of a spray can. Dupli-Color maybe? Now I just need to figure out how to wiggle the motor into the frame without scratching either one ![]()

Here's the bike now...
Got the mirrors on, front signals on, headlight on, cleaned the seat and put new chrome buttons on it. ![]() Didn't get anything over the weekend because we were out of town at the Peach City Beach Cruise, I'll be posting a video of that once I get it done being converted and stuff, it will probably be Monday by time I get around to it.
