Engine Blast

[Neo7]

Hi all,
I'm currently rebuilding a 25HP V-Twin and before I put it all back together I want the case and cylinder cooling fins to be clean and bright aluminium.
So I was wondering if anyone has shot, sand or glass blasted their V-Twin case before and what type of aggregate did you use for best results?

Many thanks.

Aluminum will still oxidize back to a duller finish.

Oh Ok thank. ... so I'm kinda wasting my time then :-(

So what's your thoughts on spraying the cylinder heads fins and rocker cover cans with black engine enamel?... Would that help with heat dissipation?
