Crankcase cover Polishing

[kzoorue_imp]

I would install engine protectors asap to prevent it happening again.

Good idea. Any suggestions on a good one?

I need assistance on best way to polish Crankcase/Stator case on my CB 1100.

I just did this "fix" to my CB1100 except on the other side (the right crankcase cover).
Steps:
1. Use flat file to lightly take down big stuff.
2. Use course wet-dry sand paper to continue smoothing out.
3. Use finer wet-dry (320, 600, 800) to get polish finish.
4. Tape off all surfaces that cover is attached too so only cover is exposed.
5. Apply Jasco Paint & Epoxy Remover to remove remaining clear coat. Use 3M Red very fine pad with remover to get tough spots. When all clear coat is off, use Acetone to clean off surface.
6. Can use 3M Grey Ultra Fine and/or 600/800 wet-dry on entire surface, then use Acetone again to clean of surface. I used 3M Grey Ultra Fine.
7. Spray clear coat ... 3 or 4 very light coats to avoid runs. I have a heat resistant clear coat that I used on my valve cover, but decided to use SprayMax 1K Clear Acrylic 3680058 on the crank cover because of lower heat requirement.

Awesome. Thanks for this response!
