Thanks mate. I think it was Hycote high temp aluminium paint on all of it, including head and cam cover. It was a bit chalky and came off when you rubbed it as it needs to get warm to set properly. A few heat cycles of the engine and it's well and truly baked on now.

Cheers mate, the bay still needs some bits sorting and is still grubby in places but def looks a lot better.

Somehow I get the feeling we've all either run out of cash or got to a point where we can't make it go faster, so we resort to cleaning it instead lol (well, that's me any-hoo) :)

Looking very nice mate ;)
