Awesome polished alternator?
To me the most memorable sight at yesterday's meet at Yeovilton was not perhaps Actros’s bellow across the car park, nor Eric’s trip from Holland on half a crankshaft pulley - nor the “in-flight escape hatch” on Concorde (no, after you Cap’n) - but the sight of the engine bay of Cliff’s (Teflon) superb V6. In particular his shiny polished engine mount and alternator. I never knew you could polish up those? I don’t believe there’s enough Brasso in the whole of Zummerzet to achieve that?
So while it was great to put faces to funny names - and pick up some maintenance tips - I did creep away deflated by the sight of so many totally immaculate motors. I must try harder, much harder.

I did but . . . sadly I don't think there are any short cuts, apart from polish, Brasso, polish, Brasso, polish, Brasso ad infinitum . . .

Take great care when polishing, not to drop abrasive materials into parts that rotate! Abrasive materials do not do bearings or internals any good. Lovely looking engine.
