Refreshing the engine paint / polish
« on: June 15, 2016, 07:14:36 PM »
So I am rebuilding a old corroded 74 CB550 and was wondering what was polished or chromed on the engines originally from the factory.  Particularly was the cam cover and the very top sub cover painted, polished, or chromed as OEM??

Im pretty sure the clutch and sprocket covers were polished though.  Cylinders and engine cases were painted..yes???
