Ive got a can of shark hide here to finish the aluminum.
Its just I am still up in the air between polished or brushed finish.
As there really a ton of factory chrome going on this thing.
Maybe too much "shiny". and the brushed finish might break it up nicely.
I will probably leave the polish for now. Then see how she looks all together. :
I've always used Indian Head shellac. Learned from my old man when we raced VWs in the 80s. Helps keep the gaskets from sticking and works as a gasket in and of itself.

Trek another way to handle side cover caskets or any that you may want to re-use is to put a little gasket maker on on side, usually the cover and then the never sieze on the case side and then the gasket comes off clean attached to the cover and there is less risk of tearing it etc when you go to put it back on, lose on both sides and you have to handle a gasket that is now soft from oil and there is risk of tearing it.
